One of the measures that should be employed is to reintroduce natural predators such as wolves and mountain lions, where possible."

Does President Obama really want to risk losing millions of animal lovers' votes this fall by continuing the barbarous practice of shooting these beautiful animals from helicopters, which does nothing to control the overpopulation of deer in parts of the country where they are overpopulated.
At $1670 per wolf shot, how much more could it cost to trap and relocate the wolves
It's a "Win/Win" proposition..
The hunters would have more elk and deer to kill, and the wolves could control the overpopulation of deer in those areas where necessary.
