Shepherds who have suffered losses due to wolf attacks must receive compensation promptly. This is the position defended by the Environment Minister, who emphasized the need to streamline the indemnification processes for those affected.
The ministry underlines that the protection of the Iberian wolf should not be seen as something separate from the protection of local communities. According to the minister, protecting this species is also about protecting those who live and work in the territories where the wolf is present.
The article arises in the context of tension between species conservation and livestock farming in the areas where the Iberian wolf inhabits. Shepherds frequently find themselves confronted with attacks on their flocks, which generates significant economic losses.
The Environment Minister's position suggests an approach that seeks to reconcile biodiversity preservation with the sustainability of traditional activities in rural areas, recognizing that both realities need to coexist.
