The Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Environment signed a joint order establishing that compensation for Iberian wolf attacks be paid within a maximum of 20 days. The measure aims to accelerate compensation for owners of animals affected by these attacks.
The order, signed by the Minister of Agriculture and the Minister of Environment, entered into force with immediate effect. This decision aims to resolve recurring complaints regarding delays in compensation payments.
The Iberian wolf is a protected species in Portugal, which has generated conflicts with farmers and livestock breeders whose operations suffer regular attacks. The new regulation comes in response to these tensions between species conservation and agricultural activity.
