Measures to minimize the impact of the wolf on livestock
With the Livestock Guarding Dogs project, carried out in partnership by the Grupo Lobo association, Group Wolfwe seek to mitigate the conflict resulting from the predation of the Iberian wolf on livestock herds, by reducing losses and increasing the tolerance of rural communities to this predator, promoting their coexistence. The project includes the delivery of Livestock guarding dogs, veterinary care and support for their integration and maintenance in herds and flocks within the Iberian wolf´s territory.
