The future of Europe's wolf population is under scrutiny by the European Commission after a surge in wolf attacks on livestock across numerous countries.
A resolution adopted by the European Parliament late last year stated there were 680 farm animals killed by wolves in Austria in 2021, but in France in 2020 there were 12,000 livestock killed and in Germany nearly 4,000.

European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen has proposed outgoing Dutch Foreign Minister Wopke Hoekstra for the post of EU Commissioner for climate action.
If his candidacy is approved by the Council and the European Parliament, Hoekstra will inherit responsibility for the EU's ambitious package of climate policies, aimed at achieving climate neutrality by 2050.
The proposed appointment of Dutchman Wopke Hoekstra as European commissioner causes a stir.
The current Dutch foreign minister and commissioner appointed by the Netherlands to replace Frans Timmermans – the former vice-president of the commission – will discuss his future responsibilities today.
Hoekstra, who could be given the climate action portfolio, has been criticised for his lack of sensitivity to environmental issues.
That’s the existential exhortation from countries like Denmark, Sweden and Finland, which say the European Union has to change its hiring habits or risk virtually eliminating Nordic officials from the European Commission, the powerful EU executive that writes the legislation governing an entire Continent.
Frans Timmermans, the man tasked with spearheading the EU's ambitious climate policies, has resigned from the Commission to return to Dutch politics in the hope of becoming the country's next prime minister.
Timmermans is to helm an alliance between the Greens (GL) and the Labour Party (PvdA) in the early general elections scheduled to be held on 22 November.
