Agri co-ops welcome EU proposal to amend wolf conservation status
From Co-operative Press Ltd.:
The European Union is looking to downgrade the conservation status of the wolf from strictly protected protected, a move welcomed by the agricultural co-ops but criticised by conservation groups.
On 26 September the European Council, which includes ministers from each EU country, decided to submit a European Commission proposal to amend the conservation status of the wolf.
The Commission will now submit the proposal to the secretariat of the Bern Convention, which is due to meet in December.
