What is the impact of the wolf on livestock activities in Italy?

ISPRA has published a study on the estimate of the impact of the wolf on livestock activities in Italy for the period 2015 - 2019. According to the results of the national monitoring, the wolf has naturally returned to populate large regions of our country in the last fifty years. If on the one hand the presence of the wolf can be considered a great success in terms of conservation of the species, on the other hand its management requires an articulated comparison with those who carry out livestock activities in different areas of the country.

The data, collected according to documented and transparent criteria, may be useful in guiding policies in support of animal husbandry with adequate measures to mitigate and prevent damage, favoring the coexistence between man and wolf.
