EU Considers Easing Wolf Protections as Populations Increase

The European Union plans to relax protections for wolves amid rising populations, creating conflict between farmers and environmentalists. The proposal would downgrade wolves from “strictly protected” to “protected,” addressing livestock attacks in member states, including Greece. With around 19,000 wolves in the EU, farmers seek better management to protect their livelihoods, while conservationists caution against potential threats to wildlife and ecosystem balance.
