On Thursday, the European Parliament voted “Protected” in an urgent procedure for reducing the protection status of the wolf against “strictly protected”.
The EU parliament members decided only a few weeks after the changed protection status was entered into force on Thursday in the Bern Treaty, the protection status of the wolf from “strictly protected” to “protected”.
The change in the Fauna Flora Habitat (FFH) Directive must now be changed to coordination in the European Parliament. The wolf must be transferred from Annex IV (strictly protected) to Annex V (protected).
Easier intervention in populations possible
This downgrading means that wolves in the respective Member States can be “removed” more easily by appropriate administrative measures, that is, an interference with the respective nature population that takes into account the favorable state of preservation.
Wolves no longer threatened species
Because wolves have hardly any natural enemies in the cultural landscapes of Europe and wolves as food on their habitats, while food on their habitat has increased their habitat, the wolven population in Europe has risen sharply in recent years. There were already 19,000 wolves in 2022, after which they were canceled by the list of endangered species in Europe.
