Very good news. Thank you for your fight to protect this species threatened and persecuted by its worst enemy, the "human".

After a few days, wolf hunting will be prohibited throughout the country.

Ministry and autonomies, in a tense vote, very tight, and in which the north said 'no', endorsed including the canid in the list of protected species.

Spanish environmental organizations were quick to call the measure a "historic decision" while the majority of northern cattle ranchers threw their hands at their heads. In a few days, at most weeks, it will be forbidden to hunt the Iberian wolf in all corners of Spain. These wild canids will become a breed with special protection throughout the country, and therefore not hunting. A status that now only enjoys in the southern half of Spain, in the territories located below the Duero, where wolves are an almost non-existent wild predator, with only a handful of packs moving among the mountains and landscapes of Segovia, Ávila, Madrid. , Salamanca and Guadalajara.
