EU Set to Remove Some Protections for
The European Union is moving toward backing plans to remove some of its
protections for wolves on the continent as their population grows.
Ambassadors of the 27 EU nations reached a qualified majority Wednesday to
seek to loosen protection rules enshrined in the European Convention on the
Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats.
Farmers in many members countrieshave been increasingly angered by attacks on
their livestock by wolfpacks as the animals have taken hold in woods and
fields close to agricultural lands.
Wolves remain a “strictly protected” species in most of Europe, but their
numbers are estimated to have grown by 25% over the last decade.
Under the plans the EU backs, wolves would be downgraded (降級) from
“strictly protected” to “protected," allowing for more measures to keep
them at bay from farmers and the population.
