19 Environmental Organizations ask the Greek Government not to consent to a change in the wolf protection regime in Europe
December 20, 2023
The co-signatory 19 Environmental Organizations express our complete opposition to the proposal announced today by the European Commission to reduce the wolf's protective status in the Bern Convention and we call on the Greek government to reject this proposal in the Council of Environment Ministers.
A few days ago, we joined our voice with almost 300 European organisations, who addressed a new open letter to the President of the EU, Mrs von der Leyen, pointing out, among other things, that it is of great concern to us that a political decision on such a critical issue is prepared in an opaque manner, as it is based on misleading information and not on reliable scientific data.
