Wolves in the Netherlands

History

• Year 1881 last wolf killed in the Netherlands 
• Year 1982 European protection laws for wolves
• First new sightings in 2015

www.wolveninnederland.nl

Nowadays

• 30-35 wolves in the Netherlands (without roaming wolves)
• 4 wolfpacks in the bigger reserves

But we have a problem.....

• In the Netherlands we have a lot of sheep farmers located near nature reserves
• Farmers are not used to wolves and sheep are not well protected
• Sheep get killed a lot
• Farmers have economical and mental problems because of the wolves
• Government tries to help by providing money when sheep are killed and for good fences
• Lot's of farmers are not happy with the wolf despite the government actions. They want the wolf out of the landscape
• On the other hand: lot's of other people see the wolf as a welcome animal that came by itself and we as people should just deal with it
• So discussions all over!
