NGO call on Member States to not lower the protection status of the wolf
From OIPA.org:
In December 2024, the European Union’s Habitats Directive was officially amended: the wolf went from “strictly protected” to “protected” status.
We just signed a NGO’s letter asking the EU member states to not lower the protection status of the wolf and to intensify efforts to achieve coexistence between wolves and rural communities. This action aims to demonstrate, one year after the directive was amended, that NGOs across the EU remain unconvinced by the political U-turn the EU has made on species protection when the EU lowered the protection status of the wolf against scientific evidence.
