New wolf pack in Stern Buchholz: 19 packs now confirmed in MV!

In the quiet region of Stern Buchholz, near Schwerin, there was recently exciting news: a new wolf pack has settled there. According to reports from the Ministry of the Environment, a total of 19 secured wolf packs are counted throughout Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, which strengthens biodiversity and the ecosystem of the area. The discovery is based on recordings of photo traps that show two adult wolves and probably seven puppies. The status of these wolf deposits was previously classified as unclear.

The estimated total number of wolves in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania now amounts to up to 180 animals. It is important to mention that the wolf is under strict protection in Germany, which means that it must not be hunted. Nevertheless, there are considerations at EU level to loosen this status. This discussion is always more offensive by farmers, since the claims for damage due to cunning animals, such as sheep and cattle, rise. The agricultural association and the farmers' association are calling for regulation of the wolf stocks, similar to other wild animals.

wolf management and EU discussions

The Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has signaled that she is considering lowering protection status, whereby regional conditions must of course be taken into account. Many farmers argue that well -thought -out wolf management could help minimize the increasing conflicts between wolf and pasture farming. Effective management could also ensure that the wildlife can continue to develop in healthy stocks without the agricultural businesses being excessively stressed.

These developments are of great importance not only for the animal world, but also for local agriculture. The balance between nature conservation and agricultural interests must be found to protect both the wolves and the pasture animals. In Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, too, the wolf remains on the subject of the public debate, and it remains to be seen how the situation will develop. Further information about the changes in the wolf population can be used in a report on www.ndr.de can be read.

Overall, the settlement of the new wolf pack in Stern Buchholz shows that the animal flora and fauna in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is constantly changing. Experimenting is also made with the question of how human activities and nature influence each other. In this regard, it is crucial that both conservationists and farmers pull together to promote harmonious coexistence.
