No special regulations for Austria! There was a great response to the interview with wolf researcher Kurt Kotrschal, where a landmark decision by the European Court of Justice also caused a stir. The latest figures show that the number of packs in Lower Austria has increased again to three. Will the state now put the brakes on shooting wolves?

The interview with wolf researcher Kurt Kotrschal on the number of wolf packs hit home: However, the counts of the "Austria Center Lynx - Bear - Wolf" were recently updated: instead of just one pack, two small populations have now statistically expanded into a pack again through reproduction. How does this change the situation of the strict EU regulation, which does not apply in Lower Austria due to exemptions?
