flag EU proposes downgrading wolf protection status, allowing more flexibility in management.

flag The European Commission has proposed reducing the protection status of wolves from "strictly protected" to "protected" under the Habitats Directive, aligning with the Bern Convention. flag This change, effective March 7, 2025, allows EU countries more flexibility in managing wolf populations, though conservation measures must still ensure favorable conservation status. flag The UK, Czech Republic, and Monaco objected to the change, so it does not apply to them. flag The move aims to balance wildlife conservation with regional needs, as wolf populations have risen significantly over the past decade.
