Wolves are natural predators of wild ungulates living in Slovenian forests. They live in family groups (packs) and require large territories to survive. In Slovenia many important population-specific life history details, for example the average number of animals a pack, territory sizes and the number of packs living in the country, were unknown before the project implementation. The attitudes of people towards wolves vary greatly as well. Certain interest groups, for example hunters and livestock breeders, may come into conflict with wolves because they prey on game species and domestic sheep. At the same time wolves are increasingly perceived as symbols of wild and preserved nature. These conflicting interests, coupled with low population sizes and demanding monitoring of conservation status, make wolf conservation a very complex issue. Continued existence of this species in Slovenia, and its co-existence with humans, depends on a number of intertwined factors. We studied these factors within the project, directly addressed many of the most pressing issues, produced a solid knowledge base, networked the most important interest groups, helped improve the lacking legislature, and by doing that provided a firm foundation for successful conservation and management of this charismatic large carnivore species in the future. volkovi projekti true false true s. n.
