EU Proposes Reduced Protection for Wolves to Address Livestock Threats

Wolves in most of Europe face reduced protection as new conservation regulations allow regulated hunting, raising concerns from activists about potential wolf deaths.
Members of the Bern Convention agreed to lower the wolf's protection status from 'strictly protected' to 'protected' in December, aiming to regulate their exploitation without endangering the species.
The European Commission revised EU rules immediately to align with the protection status change, following objections from the Czech Republic, Monaco, and the UK.
Ursula Von der Leyen stated that lowering protection will help manage wolf populations while balancing biodiversity and rural livelihoods, addressing threats to livestock.
