In the Netherlands wolves recently get frequent public attention. Headlines about wolves in Lapland, Germany or Spain tell us that this animal is doing well and even spreads towards the Netherlands. At the same time we notice that wolves in one place encounter a warm welcome, while at another there is a lot of opposition.
Media do tell us that wolves evoke lots of emotions, as truths, half-truths and untruths are being told. Not only this, but also the believe that wolves indeed are advancing towards the Netherlands, made us decide to investigate the facts about wolves and to prepare the Netherlands for their arrival. Together with a broad network of colleague organizations we’ll continue our work to prepare the people of the Netherlands and to give the wolf a warm welcome when it places its first paw on Dutch soil.
