[22] [23] In September 2020, a wolf (GW 1832 m) from the Alps arrived in the Neckar-Odenwald-Kreis. [24] Individual wolves from the Dinarides-Balkans population have also migrated as far as the German Alpine region. [25] [26] [27] In early summer 2020 a male wolf (GW 1706 m) from the Dinaric population was detected at Traunstein. [28]
As of 2018, the global gray wolf population is estimated to be 200,000–250,000. [1] Once abundant over much of North America and Eurasia, the gray wolf inhabits a smaller portion of its former range because of widespread human encroachment and destruction of its habitat, and the resulting human-wolf encounters that sparked broad extirpation.
The population increased again by 1980 to about 75,000, with 32,000 being killed in 1979. [26] Wolf populations in northern Inner Mongolia declined during the 1940s, primarily because of poaching of gazelles, the wolf's main prey. [27] In British-ruled India, wolves were heavily persecuted because of their attacks on sheep, goats and children.

An incorrect population estimate could eventually drop wolf populations and put them back on the Endangered Species Act list. Genetic modeling ‘is producing accurate results’
Estonia's sparse population and large areas of forest have allowed stocks of European lynx, wild boar, brown bears, and moose to survive, among other animals. [2] Estonia is thought to have a wolf population of around 200, [3] which is considered slightly above the optimum range of 100 to 200. [4]
