Even today wolves have the reputation of being highly dangerous and unpredictable. They have this bad reputation without any reason. In many areas in Europe, especially in the countryside, wolves are still the most feared and hated animals. Often people do not hesitate  when faced with the presence of wolves: They reach for their gun, venom or  traps. Wolves have the status of a protected species in most European countries, but what for if man still regards the wolf as his enemy. The European Nature Heritage Fund (EuroNatur) has established the project "The Wolf in Europe" in order to defuse the conflict and to come up with solutions for both: man and wolves. If you would like to help us, please support our work through a wolf-adoption or becoming a EuroNatur supporter.
