A major focus is on threatened biodiversity of farmland, forest, river and mountain ecosystems. More recently, we have also started to work on mitigating the

The favourable conservation status of wolves is the definition of a wolf population that is no longer threatened with extinction, that is capable of long-term survival.
In Europe the favourable conservation status is defined by the Guidelines for Population Level Management Plans for Large Carnivores.

According to the IUCN guidelines, at least 1000 adult animals are required for isolated populations.
If a wolf population is effectively linked genetically and demographically with other wolf populations, more than 250 mature wolves may be sufficient.
