20.500.12556/RUL-167544 Continuing recovery of wolves in Europe The recovery of wolves (Canis lupus) across Europe is a notable conservation success in a region with extensive human alteration of landscapes and high human population densities. We provide a comprehensive update on wolf populations in Europe, estimated at over 21,500 individuals by 2022, representing a 58% increase over the past decade. Despite the challenges of high human densities and significant land use for agriculture, industry, and urbanization, wolves have demonstrated remarkable adaptability and increasing population trends in most European countries. Improved monitoring techniques, although varying in quality and scope, have played a crucial role in tracking this recovery. Annually, wolves kill approximately 56,000 domestic animals in the EU, a risk unevenly distributed and differently handled across regions. Damage compensation costs 17 million EUR every year to European countries. Positive economic impacts from wolf presence, such as those related to reducing traffic accidents with wild ungulates or supporting wildlife tourism, remain under studied. Wolf recovery in Europe is supported by diverse policy and legal instruments such as LIFE programs, stakeholder platforms, as well as the EU Habitats Directive and the Bern Convention. Coexisting with newly established wolf populations in Europe entails managing impacts on human activities, including livestock depredation, competition for game, and fear of attacks on humans, amidst varying social and political views on wolf recovery. Sustainable coexistence continues to operate in evolving and complex social, economic, and political landscapes, often characterized by intense debates regarding wolf policies. wolf Canis lupus human-wildlife coexistence recovery monitoring volk Canis lupus sobivanje ljudi in prostoživečih živali varstvo monitoring true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-02-27 08:49:31 2025-02-27 09:02:06 2025-02-28 04:00:11 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 18 str. iss. 2, art. e0000158 Vol. 4 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 599.744.111.1:502.172(4) 2767-3197 10.1371/journal.pstr.0000158 227478531 RAZ_Di_Bernardi_Cecilia_2025.pdf RAZ_Di_Bernardi_Cecilia_2025.pdf 1 2DFF875D00AFF009D53AA3B8AF1B6FE7 2bdfea1c11f4dbb09276e9a0c83ffda9e0c08fcc99a3ca8f47dd59a6a8f10bcb 18c83b98-f4df-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=200169 RAZ_Di_Bernardi_Cecilia_2025-s1.docx RAZ_Di_Bernardi_Cecilia_2025-s1.docx 1 144EFD920BF62BDDAEDC5807D783AA74 14f7e2625e3afa943adc74db0cbd36267285483e0c3da12c34e299254534810d 3c3201a1-f4df-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=200170 RAZ_Di_Bernardi_Cecilia_2025-s2.docx RAZ_Di_Bernardi_Cecilia_2025-s2.docx 1 BE9F94F7F5248DBEDEC2CCF67B315AA6 6ece4de5f523506f7cc54257101dd504f7d53572ab63ebe467c89c255cf335f4 4ffb0eb6-f4df-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=200171 RAZ_Di_Bernardi_Cecilia_2025-s3.docx RAZ_Di_Bernardi_Cecilia_2025-s3.docx 1 9E700694537E8E23B751BABDF88C25E4 7689d38e833a09238ec517bc7bb6d4f011e2e8e2e442fe651fbb5cb85d3e89da 5f76a0e5-f4df-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=200172 https://journals.plos.org/sustainabilitytransformation/article?id=10.1371/journal.pstr.0000158 1 7b2acde8-f4de-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=200167 Biotehniška fakulteta 0 0 0
