The EAWC sent a letter to president Ursula von der Leyen with the facts about wolf conservation in Europe. We request for the protection status for the wolf to remain as it is today. The way forward is science-based coexistence not political scapegoating. wolf-alliance.org/eawc-statement…

"The probability of a predator attack is so low that it cannot even be quantified." Luigi Boitani, professor of zoology at the Sapienza University of Rome and president of the Large Carnivore Initiative for Europe. repubblica.it/green-and-blue…

A survey recently published by Eurogroup For Animals clearly shows that people in rural areas are in favor of coexistence with wolves. Those calling for the hunting of wolves are the farming and hunting lobbies which do not represent the majority of EU citizens. Ursula von der Leyen

The narrow interests of the hunting and farming lobby groups do not represent the majority of EU citizens. Ursula von der Leyen Without wolves and other carnivores our nature is out balance. Let´s celebrate the return of wolves in Europe!

"Britain’s surging deer population is causing an ecological disaster. I have a solution: wolves" Thank you George Monbiot

Without any scientific justifications and motivated by personal reasons Ursula von der Leyen proposes to change the status of wolves from ‘strictly protected' to ‘protected'. This proposal should be rejected. ec.europa.eu/commission/pre…

This irresponsible proposal from European Commission to lower the wolf protection is not based either on scientific evidence or public opinion. "The proposal reflects a strategic, opportunistic and political move". theguardian.com/environment/20…

Lethal management of wolf populations have negative animal welfare implications and are ineffective and even counterproductive for preventing livestock predation. Protection of domestic animals is the responsible way forward Ursula von der Leyen. #coexistence theguardian.com/environment/20…

A new record: researchers have verified that the male gray wolf known as GW1909m coming from the northern German municipality of Nordhorn reached the Pyrenees Mountains in northeastern Spain's Catalonia walking 1,240 kilometers away from its birthplace. hs.fi/ulkomaat/art-2…

Poaching of wolves is a very big problem in Scandinavia. Between 30 and 50 percent of wolf mortality is due to poaching. So far authorites have not taken this seriously. This should receive international media attention. The Guardian

Ecologists calculate that Scotland has space for 50 to 94 wolf packs. Wolves, will produce many environmental benefits, chiefly reducing the 2m deer that are living at a far higher density than in any other European country. The Guardian theguardian.com/environment/20…

Myth: "Trophy hunting supports species conservation" Fact: Trophy hunting negatively impacts populations of endangered and protected species The direct exploitation of animals is one of the main drivers of species extinction. bit.ly/4cGoV5j FACE

The trophy hunting of wolves and other carnivores done in Scandinavian countries is unnatural selection with serious consequences such as the weakening of the genetic health of the target populations. Studies on brown bears in Scandinavia, corroborate this. Check the full report.

Time to bust the hunting myths that have created so much suffering on wild animals. Hunting of large carnivores is ineffective and even counterproductive to reduce conflicts with farmers. The true effective and responsible way is for farmers to protect their animals.
