Development of the wolf population in Germany Wolf attacks on domestic animals. Wolf monitoring [18] is used to determine the extent to which the genetic exchange between the various wolf populations or subpopulations is taking place again. [19] So today, immigration of wolves from Poland to Germany but also return migration to the east is ...
Soviet wolf populations reached a low around 1970, disappearing over much of European Russia. 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]
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.

Scottish wolf populations reached a peak during the second half of the 16th century. Mary, Queen of Scots is known to have hunted wolves in the forest of Atholl in 1563. [7] The wolves later caused such damage to the cattle herds of Sutherland that in 1577, James VI made it compulsory to hunt wolves three times a year. [1] The last wolf in Scotland
Gable said a Montana Fish and Wildlife Department report estimated a wolf population could sustain 27% human-caused mortality before the population would decline. His work with the VWP places it ...
The recovery of European wolf populations began after the 1950s, when traditional pastoral and rural economies declined and thus removed the need to heavily persecute wolves. By the 1980s, small and isolated wolf populations expanded in the wake of decreased human density in rural areas and the recovery of wild prey populations. [26]
