Collection and monitoring of DNA samples
The collection of DNA samples will expand to all wolf pack territories during the project. DNA samples help to estimate population sizes in more detail. Volunteers will be trained to collect samples. Read more about collecting and monitoring DNA samples.
Interaction and cooperation in wolf regions
The network of carnivore contact people will expand and strengthen, project planners will give information to people living in wolf regions and the operations of territory cooperation groups will be developed. Read more about interaction and cooperation in wolf regions.
