DNA analysis has proved that the extremely tragic death of a British tourist in Greece was a rare attack caused by dogs not wolves (as had been widely reported in the press). The evidence presented in the peer reviewed journal Nature Conservation was accepted by the court who gave a verdict in September 2022. The role of the media in fueling speculation that wolves were involved has also been analysed in Environmental Research Letters.
