The lack of protection of Iberian wolf due to a law that has nothing to do with the species
Ecologist organizations consider it not -inadmissible The lack of protection of Iberian wolf due to a law that has nothing to do with the speciesA dark parliamentary maneuver and without any scientific approval, which improves the entire society of participation.
The approved changes include the exit of the populations of the Iberian wolf north of the Duero from the wild species list in special protection (Lesrpe)giving the autonomous communities Withdraw high -race quota and have shot dozens of copies every year.
But also These competitions with their voice have opened the door for the persecution of the Iberian Wolf south of the DueroIt could start if the European Union reduces species protection within the Habitats Directive.
De Wolf is an emblematic species with a fundamental role as a regulator of ecosystems, with enormous cultural importance, and whose presence in nature generates extensive environmental benefits.
The population of Iberian Wolf was included in the Lesrpe in 2021 with a favorable opinion about an independent scientific committee, appointed by the state and the autonomous communitiesWith a long perfectly regulated process that made the participation of civil society and regional administrations possible.
Ecologist organizations warn against the dangerous precedent for the protection of biodiversity that the parliamentary maneuver of the PP with the support of the PNV, JUNS and VOX is about the administrative procedure that is the law, science, science and the general interest in pure calculation and political opportunism.
It is a very serious setback that joins the entire legal framework for the protection of nature and the green agenda
The exit of the Lesrpe Wolf presupposes the return to the expired and failed management model that existed before 2021Based on the systematic persecution of Iberian Wolfwho did not have to reduce damage to extensive cattle and associated conflicts, or to bring the species to a favorable state of preservation.
Organizations remember that admission to the Lesrpe and the resulting approval of the ‘Strategy for the preservation and management of the Iberian Wolf and its coexistence with the activities of the rural environment“ It has an unprecedented investment in damage prevention and compensation measures.
Regret that this political maneuver per country is the progress that has been made for the Coexistence between species and extensive cattleAnd that ends with the Transfer of funds for this purpose that was transferred from the State to the autonomous communities to compensate and support farmers.
