That’s outdated, we have at least 10 wolves now in Belgium.
But as a whole, it’s sad to see how few there are. The EU should have a strong policy of wolf protection and reintroduction. It should be forbidden to hunt/kill them; since unlike sheeps and goats, they are threatened.
Sadly, there will be fewer wolves in Norway because one of the main parties in the new government is pro killing wolves.
It’s all fun and games until some kid on a family camping trip gets eaten.
I like living in a country where I can just lie down pretty much anywhere and nothing will consume me.

Wolves are extremely rare in Austria. Just recently it was decided to shoot the wolf called MATK118 if it kills another sheep. So far this year it has killed about 50 sheep.
Seems the Ukrainians are pretty strict about their western border.
This map is wrong, there are wolves in Chernobyl Exclusion Zone in Ukraine.
Outdated/wrong numbers?
Scandinavian population estimated at 480 individuals.
See all those wolves in Spain? Iberian wolves went almost extinct in 1970 due to excessive hunting, traps, poison and misinformation. One man, Félix Rodríguez de la Fuente (a naturalist, ecologist and one of the biggest spanish tv personalities of the time), took the matter personally and used his TV show and popularity to spread awareness and information about these beautiful animals. 50 years later the species is still endangered, but its future seems bright thanks to his work. May he always rest in peace.
Think we have a handful of them in Denmark now as well for a good number of years
Wait, so are there like, just no wolves in Ukraine or did they go extinct? Can we have a comparison with numbers somewhere in the early 20th century, please?
The map is based on data from 2014 so many numbers are correct anymore.
Edit: this is grey wolves only. Obviously there are also arctic wolves and coyote-wolf hybrids.
As a Romanian i can confidentley say i’ve never seen a wolf in my life,only bears.
Is it all for France? Isn’t middle France relatively low populated? Also no wolfs in Aquitania forest?
Wolvenmarum
Wölfe
Now I know how Finland guards its eastern border.
This is the proof that Transylvania does not have vampires. The wolves ate them
Are you sure this is accurate? There have been wolves spotted in the Netherlands, southern Germany and northern Austria(Tirol) pretty recently…
I see even the small pack near my town is on the map
Map seems outdated
There has actually been several wolf sightings in Denmark over the last decade or so.
There are some in the Netherlands as well! They’re not really permanent yet though as they’re less than 10 (by my knowledge)
They shot one of the few wolves in The Netherlands just this week.
Werent there a few wolves in the Netherlands?
Pfff. This why Britannia rules. You continental losers keep losing to wolves. We are the one nation that overcame the wolf scourge. This is why Brexit was necessary, to decouple us from the sub-lupine rabble.
Wolves in Czechia regularly reproduce and they’re quite spreading in last years. In 2021, there are up to 22 packs counted.
I don’t know if this data is correct, I’ve seen a few articles from all the Benelux countries reporting sightings within the past few years.
In Belgium and The Netherlands there is like 30 in total. The first wolf in Belgium after a century was however shot while everybody was sure she was going to be run over. Her name was Naya. We give them names cause there’s so few. In The Netherlands, a wolf was killed a few days ago and there is a 16.000 euro reward for a golden tip that leads to the person responsible for its death.

Deutsch-Polnisch? Have I missed something?
