VIDEO Studiu genetic de amploare asupra haitelor de lupi în Carpații Meridionali: A scăzut densitatea, au dispărut exemplarele hibride născute din împerecherea cu câini

A study by the Conservation Carpathia Foundation reveals new insights into the wolf population in the Southern Carpathians, identifying 24 wolves and noting changes in pack dynamics. The research indicates a decrease in population density and social instability among the wolves, with a drop to 1.46 wolves per 100 km². Genetic analysis shows no hybridization with stray dogs, confirming the purity of the local population. The study highlights the ecological role of wolves in maintaining forest balance and the effectiveness of traditional livestock protection methods against wolf attacks. Overall, the findings underscore the importance of ongoing monitoring and conservation efforts.
