Large carnivores
Today, Thursday, January 22, 2026, will be a very important day for the wolf issue in our country. In the last few hours, Minister Lollobrigida has referred to a possible Slovak model to inspire the management of the speciesToday, however, it will be the turn of the State-Regions Conference dedicated to large carnivores. What specifically will be discussed?
Italian and European legislation
In Rome, the draft of the new decree prepared by the Ministry of the Environment will be discussed. This decree establishes specific culling thresholds for wolves. These thresholds will differ depending on the region involved. The measure will also align Italian legislation with European legislation, taking inspiration from the downgrading of the species' protection status recently decided at the EU level.
Protected areas
Meanwhile, a project conference focused on managing wolf presence in protected areas began just yesterday at the aforementioned Ministry of the Environment. Representatives from 18 national parks gathered to examine research data, field experiences, and best practices.
