We had many workshops this past week 🌎

Including some hands-on ⛏️ workshops outside on building wolf-deterrent wire fences and capture methods.

We had two post conference walks, to Radio Kootwijk and the sanddrift ! 🐺

Participants went out finding tracks 🐾, learning about the local history and current wolf pack in the area. They also visited a local shepherd that is keeping a herd of sheep at Hoog Buurlo🐑👨‍🌾

🔊 Is the concept of problematic behaviour of wolves an ecological or cultural debate?

An interesting discussion going on between our panelists Ilka Reinhardt, Valeria Salvatori, Dries Kuijper and Josip Kusak, moderated by John Linell.

#WolvesBorders

#WolvesBorders

Valeria Salvatori gave a very topical presentation on bold wolves and how to deal with them 🐺

#WolvesBorders

Paolo Cucci gives an important message at #wolvesborders: conservation success (in wolves) is about much more than population size. We need a high quality of conservation: genetic, ecological, habitat integrity, functioning

The last day of WAB starts off with Paolo Ciucci who is reflecting on population abundance versus the quality of wolf conservation 🐺
