The picture recently caused a sensation: two wolves in the same picture of a camera trap. Is there a pair of wolves in the southwest now? Experts advise in the southern Black Forest on protection for herds.
Schluchsee (dpa/lsw) - Since there are more wolves, experts want to advise on Friday (10:00 a.m.) in the Black Forest town of Schluchsee about improved protection for grazing animals. The Lörrach District Administrator and Chairwoman of the Southern Black Forest Nature Park, Marion Dammann, is expected to attend the meeting in the tourism community in the Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald district. The organizers announced that Bernhard Bolkart, President of the Baden Agricultural Association, also wanted to come.
In Baden-Württemberg, three wolves are considered settled, all of them males in the Black Forest. Two of them roam the south. A wolf is considered sedentary if clear evidence can be found after six months. For classification: A total of 161 wolf packs, 43 pairs and 21 sedentary individuals live in Germany.
A photo from a photo trap in the Schluchsee region recently made headlines because it showed two wolves. Experts suspect that it is a couple. That could produce offspring.
Wolves have attacked eleven cattle in the south-west so far, as reported by the "Stuttgarter Zeitung" and "Stuttgarter Nachrichten" on Thursday, citing figures from the Forestry Research and Testing Institute in Freiburg. Eight animals died.
