The central theme of the article is the Iberian wolf and the damages caused to livestock breeders. The Government made a decision to resolve this longstanding issue.
According to the government decision, the administrative and financial procedures to assess damages caused by the Iberian wolf will be accelerated and simplified.
This measure aims to compensate shepherds who suffer losses in their livestock due to Iberian wolf attacks, a recurring problem in rural areas of Portugal.
Payments of compensation owed to affected breeders should be made by the end of the month following the assessment of damages.
