We had many workshops this past week π
Including some hands-on βοΈ workshops outside on building wolf-deterrent wire fences and capture methods.
#WolvesBorders
We had two post conference walks, to Radio Kootwijk and the sanddrift ! πΊ
Participants went out finding tracks πΎ, learning about the local history and current wolf pack in the area. They also visited a local shepherd that is keeping a herd of sheep at Hoog Buurloππ¨βπΎ

Er is een Europees LIFE project waarin ontmoetingen systematisch worden gedocumenteerd en geanalyseerd. Er was op #WolvesBorders een interessante plenaire presentatie over.
Nederland doet niet mee aan dat project. Wat mij betreft proberen we alsnog aan te haken.

Afgelopen week was ik op het internationale congres Wolves Across Borders, waar onderzoekers en praktijkmensen kennis uitwisselden rondom de #wolf.
Superinteressant en veel inspiratie voor een Nederlands onderzoeksprogramma waarin iedereen samenwerkt.

π Is the concept of problematic behaviour of wolves an ecological or cultural debate?
An interesting discussion going on between our panelists Ilka Reinhardt, Valeria Salvatori, Dries Kuijper and Josip Kusak, moderated by John Linell.
#WolvesBorders

#WolvesBorders
Another highlight at the last day of the #WolvesBorders conference.
@hughjansman.bsky.social openly shares his personal, heavily loaded story. He receives a standing ovation. π
Valeria Salvatori gave a very topical presentation on bold wolves and how to deal with them πΊ
#WolvesBorders
Paolo Cucci gives an important message at #wolvesborders: conservation success (in wolves) is about much more than population size. We need a high quality of conservation: genetic, ecological, habitat integrity, functioning
The last day of WAB starts off with Paolo Ciucci who is reflecting on population abundance versus the quality of wolf conservation πΊ
#WolvesBorders
Panelists Maria Falkevik,
Cassiopeia Camara,
Claudio Sillero, Fridolin Zimmermann, Pepijn T'Hooft and Arie Trouwborst are discussing the wolf debate within
