Protection of Species
A new brochure gives insight into the project „Welcome wolf“, a cooperation startet from NABU together with Volkswagen.
How do the tracks of wolves and dogs differ from each other? The newly published NABU brochure “Willkommen Wolf” answers this and other questions.
Its 32 pages give a comprehensive insight into the life and behaviour of the shy returnee. The brochure provides information on range and whereabouts, conflict management and the latest findings on the social systems of wild wolves. In addition to a chronology of wolves in Germany, it contains pictures of the Saxon wolves, a map of the wolf territory and nationwide sightings of wolves. It also gives addresses and contacts in the relevant Federal Länder that are responsible for wolf reporting.
After the animals became extinct in Germany 150 years ago, wild wolves have returned to the country since the year 2000. There are now two packs in eastern Saxony which regularly rear young. NABU wants to create a home for wild wolves in Germany again. Together with Volkswagen, last year it therefore launched the “Welcome Wolf” programme for more acceptance and to protect the wild animals. NABU supports the establishment of a voluntary network of wolf mentors in wolf territory and is actively in favour of conserving former military exercise grounds and large conservation areas that are suitable for wolves.
