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.
Wolves in Hungary occurred in only half the country around the start of the 20th century, and were largely restricted to the Carpathian Basin. Wolf populations in Romania remained largely substantial, with an average of 2,800 wolves being killed annually out of a population of 4,600 from 1955 to 1965.
The grey wolf was present only in the eastern and northern parts of Finland by 1900, though its numbers increased after World War II. [20] Although the Finnish wolf population rose by 2005 to around 250 individuals, by 2013, their numbers had again declined to the mid-1990s figure of around 140.
[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]

In Hungary in 1969, ... In 2013, a genetic study found that the wolf population in Europe was divided along a north–south axis and formed five major clusters. Three ...
There was 11–13% of ancient gene flow into the golden jackal from the population that was ancestral to wolves and dogs, and an additional 3% from extant wolf populations. [ 35 ] [ 36 ] Up to 15% of the Israeli wolf genome is derived from admixture with golden jackals in ancient times.
An estimated 15% of Canada and Alaska's wolf population of 6,000-7,000 is eliminated annually. (Canada's total wolf population is about 30,000.) Ontario ceased its wolf bounty system in 1972, though retaining a year-round open season for wolves. [2] In Alberta, wolves bounties are still offered by some local governments.
