The
current return of wolves to human-dominated landscapes poses a major challenge
for the protection of this species, says conservation biologist and private
lecturer (PD) Dr. Marco Heurich from the University of Freiburg. He emphasizes
that conflicts arise around the conservation of wolves in these landscapes due
to farm animal slaughter, competition with hunters and human protection. The
question of how humans can coexist with predators triggers a strong emotional
debate. Based on these observations, a team of scientists led by Dr. Dries
Kuijper from the Mammal Research Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences
analyzed the existing knowledge on how to deal with large carnivores living in
the wild in Europe and other parts of the world. The aim was to enable an
objective, scientifically sound discussion of various scenarios of wolf
management. The researchers have presented their results in the current issue
of the scientific journal Biological Conservation.
