Environmental protection and safeguard of wolves

But in the 1970s the Italian wolf was so close to extinction: only 100 wolf specimens on the central and southern Apennines resisted because they were considered a harmful breed. Then the naturalists lobbied and the Protection Law was made. Currently the big problem is fighting a culture of hatred that comes from ancient traditions and real difficulties of coexistence. The wolf has reappeared in many places where it had disappeared for almost a hundred years and the new generations are no longer used to its presence.
