The EEB, together with hundreds of thousands of EU citizens and over 300 civil society organisations, strongly urges the Ambassadors to reject the European Commission’s proposal to downgrade the protection status of wolves under the Bern Convention at the forthcoming meeting. Such a decision would demonstrate that the EU is committed to upholding its national and international obligations to protect and restore biodiversity, underpinned by science-based policy decisions. We urge EU Member States to step up their efforts to promote coexistence with large carnivores, including wolves and bears.
