On The Effectiveness Of Shooting Wolves
From September 1, 2024, until January 31, 2025, cantons may regulate wolf populations as a preventive measure, with the approval of the Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN). This management approach was first implemented in December 2023 for a two-month period. As the pasturing season has ended, data on livestock predation rates may offer insights into the effectiveness of last winter’s regulation. We explain why it is still too early from a scientific point of view to assess its effectiveness.
