/ MONITORING AND FIELD RESEARCH

The need to know and deepen the presence of the predator has led us over the years to commit ourselves to collect as much data as possible relating to the presence of the wolf.
FIND OUT MORE

The activity is carried out by motivated volunteers who, through the use of non-invasive techniques, such as excrement collection, tracing on snow and transects, photo and video trapping, collect and convey valuable information on the wolf to the institutions in charge.

In recent years, this activity has allowed us to gather great satisfaction and to discover a lot about the presence of the wolf even in areas where there are no institutional research projects, creating precious material that is also used in communication activities. One of the biggest problems to date remains, however, the continual theft of our technical material, which in recent years has caused a huge loss to the Association.

Communication and disclosure

Field activities are essential to try to understand the dynamics involving the packs we follow. It starts from the exploration of the territory, in search of signs of presence, geo-referencing the position of the markings, which is then archived in a specific database. Through various data collection techniques we try to elaborate information on the members of the herds, their rotation and the real territorial extension occupied.
We have also participated, with almost a hundred volunteers engaged in the Apennine and Alpine area, in the first National Monitoring of the Wolf coordinated by ISPRA - Higher Institute for Protection  and Environmental Research, during which we covered the defined transects in search of the genetic sampling sites and we carried out the snow tracing outings.

Our goal is important and to achieve it we need you.

Ensuring a future for wolves in Italy and Europe through coexistence with human activities: join us.
