✍️ European nations approved plans to scale back wolf protection, allowing for hunting under specific circumstances, in a victory for farmers over environmentalists.
👉 The European Union proposal was adopted by the Bern Convention to protect wildlife and habitat. 👉 The proposal sets up looser protection rules for wolves from March 2025. 👉 Farmers have been increasingly angered by attacks on livestock by packs of wolves. 👉 Environmentalists estimate that there could be up to 19,000 wolves across Europe. 👉 The wolf is still endangered in many parts of Europe, and weakening its protection will only lead to further conflict and threaten its recovery.
