Bringing back the wolves and then poisoning them

[Catherine]

Wolves in Italy were on the brink of extinction. With strict laws, the wolves were saved and their numbers look good.
There are over 300 wolves now. Then the EU relaxed its protections for the wolves. Then farmers started poisoning them.
Whole packs have been killed. That is bad enough. Other animals, like vultures, have died from eating the poisoned wolves.
The use of poison sets off a chain of deaths in an ecosystem.

Poisoning a pack of wolves does not have the effect that farmers want. Other wolves come in to take their place. 
Farmers need to find a way to coexist with wolves. They need to find a way to protect their animals from wolves.
The wolves have a beneficial effect on the ecosystem. They mostly eat the wild boars that tear up and damage their habitat.
In the end that is a good thing.

It always seems to be difficult when a species is being restored to its natural territory. The good the species will do far outweighs any damage.
It is still hard to get people to accept it. They want to control nature rather than work with nature. 
The only real way to restore the ecology of an area is to return the species that are key to the health of the ecosystem.
Wolves have been shown to restore the land. If they give them time the wolves will do great good. By controlling wild boars they will control the damage the boars do to the ecosystem.
Farmers will have to find ways to protect their livestock without killing wolves. 
They need the wolves even if they don't understand it yet.
