The LIFE WILD WOLF project kicked off at the beginning of this year by 18 international partner institutions. Its goal is to provide a contribution to the most adequate management of critical situations where wolves approach humans in urban and peri-urban areas. The project will be implemented in rural, urban and peri-urban areas of eight EU countries (Croatia, Germany, Greece, Italy, Portugal, The Czech Republic, Slovenia and Sweden). The partnership is coordinated by the Italian Instituto di Ecologia Applicata of Rome.
