Joint statement by 300+ civil society organisations calling for strict wolf protection to be maintained

More than 300 civil society organisations are calling on EU Member States to strengthen, not weaken, protection for wolves. The coalition opposes the European Commission’s proposal to downgrade wolf protection under the Bern Convention. Instead, they are calling for increased efforts to promote coexistence with large carnivores through preventive measures and to protect the progress made in wolf conservation over the past decades.
