Minimizing impact of the wolf on livestock
With the Livestock Guarding Dog project, carried out in partnership by Grupo Lobo, we seek to mitigate the conflict arising from Iberian wolf predation on livestock by reducing losses and increasing the tolerance of rural communities towards 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 Iberian wolf territory.
