The interaction generated by human intervention to protect the gray wolf population in the northwestern united states can be defined as commensalism agree or disagree

Commensalism is defined as a relationship between two species where one has certain benefits from the relation and the other is unaffected. So, in this case, it is hard to determine what kind of relationship the gray wolf  and human populations have because when people intervene to help protect a species they are officially unaffected, they do not lose or gain anything, but the gray wolf is one of the key species in their ecosystem, so protecting them is beneficial for the ecosystem, therefore can have numerous positive effects on human-environment too.
