The Rewilding Portugal organization accused authorities of blocking wolf conservation in Portugal, demanding "clear rules" for the protection of the species. In statements to the Lúria agency, representative Pedro Prata criticized the inaction of the responsible entities, stating that "it seems everyone is just waiting for things to go well, without doing anything."
The conflict arises in a context of tensions between nature protectors and local communities, particularly in the northern region of the country where wolf presence is most significant. Rewilding argues that the absence of defined legislation is compromising conservation efforts for the species.
Pedro Prata, representing the organization, made clear that the goal is not to collect opinions, but to implement concrete and binding measures. The position of Rewilding Portugal emphasizes the urgency of establishing a regulatory framework that allows coexistence between wolves and human activities in the region.
