    The WILD WOLF project (LIFE21NAT-IT-101074417), co-financed by the European Commission and started in 2023, coordinated by the Institute of Applied Ecology and implemented in collaboration with 17 partners, aims to discourage the presence of the wolf in inhabited areas, adequately managing situations potentially critical issues that arise in human-dominated European landscapes.
    Within the WP7 of the “Transfer and Replication” project, monitoring of wolf packs in the Province of Rome is being undertaken in collaboration with local entities in  take place in the Roman Coast Reserve (LIPU Castel di Guido Oasis), in the R.N.

    Some of the specific objectives of the investigation are:

    – Evaluation of the status and genetic identity of each herd present in protected areas.
