Germany's Green Minister decided that the world's third largest economy can't afford strict #wolf protection. With just over 1000 wolves and no evidence that reducing protection helps reduce conflicts. Devastating for conservation in the rest of the world. politico.eu/article/german…

🎥A different farmer's perspective on #wolf: 1.Coexistence is possible: increased benefits by 60%, no attacks in 17yrs. 2. Employ herders: ⬆️ employment ⬆️ income; 3.Change PAC: link payments to wolf and mountain protection; 4. Acknowledge benefits: control mange transmission.

It is too simplistic to think that introducing single species (eg, beaver, bison, pine marten) can fundamentally repair degraded ecosystems Even if we call them keystones Rewilding is about rebuilding complexity, which includes complex trophic structures science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

The EU proposal to downlist wolves is premature and flawed, and should not be adopted, says the IUCN Large Carnivore Initiative for Europe: linkedin.com/feed/update/ur… (📷 S. Scholten)

Great meeting on #strictprotection definition at the EU Committee of the Regions. Many voices emerging in favor of maintaining the emphasis on non-intervention management and on ecological processes. This is the missing component of past EU biodiversity policies.

I am afraid that although catchy, biodiversity leakage is not as much of an issue as the paper below suggests and should definitely not stop us from doing ecological restoration in the Global North. A short thread explaining why the argument in the paper is flawed. 🧵👇
