‘Saint or devil’: return of wolf stirs debate in Europe
From: France 24:
Grey wolves were virtually exterminated in Europe a century ago but now, thanks to conservation efforts, numbers have rebounded.
The predator’s population growth has triggered howls of protest from farmers and concern from conservationists.
In 2023, there were breeding packs of grey wolves in 23 countries of the European Union, with a total population estimated at around 20,300 animals, bringing the elusive creatures into more frequent contact with humans.
