The Convention Standing Committee meeting took place 28 November - 2 December in Strasbourg and online. Among the agenda items, was a proposal for an amendment: Downlisting of the wolf (Canis lupus) from Appendix II to Appendix III of the convention. The amendment was rejected by the signatories with the EU voting as a block against it. Prior to the decision, the convention requested an Assessment of the conservation status of the Wolf (Canis lupus) in Europe. The report by LCIE requested by the Bern Convention presents the most up-to-date (2022) information on wolf numbers, trends and key threats and conservation measures at country, population and pan-European level.
