In recent years, a campaign has been underway to lower the wolf’s protection status (successfully implemented at the EU level in 2025, but unsuccessfully so far in Poland). The wolf is strictly protected as a species. Destruction of its habitat is also prohibited. The acquisition, possession, and sale of wolf fur, skin, and other trophies are also prohibited. Although many naturalists believe that wolves do not seek contact with humans and pose no threat to them, reports of alleged attacks on domestic animals and even humans have recently resurfaced. What does science say about this? What level of wolf protection do naturalists advocate? Who would want to lower the wolf’s protection level?
Centre for Legal Protection of Animals & Nature at the Faculty of Law and Administration, University of Warsaw, invites everyone to a meeting with Professor Robert Mysłajek, PhD, hab., on these very issues. Professor Mysłajek is a lecturer at the Faculty of Biology at the University of Warsaw, a distinguished researcher in the ecology of large carnivores, and an expert in wolf conservation with over 30 years of experience.
The meeting will take place on Monday, April 13, at 6:30 p.m. at the Faculty of Law and Administration, room 1.2 of Collegium Iuridicum II (Lipowa 4).
