Over the last decade the wolf population in Europe has increased by 60%. Places that have been wolf free for a long time, have thriving populations.
This is a conservation success story. Everyone is happy, but Denmark. They have only had a small increase in wolves and they are not happy with that. They are allowing wolf hunting. When polled, the younger people are in favour of wolves, the older people, not so much.

Good for Europe that the wolves are back. Not good for Denmark that they are fighting it. The wolves have not been back long enough to see the ecological benefits. It takes time for the whole system to change. The wolves in Yellowstone National Park in the USA are the example of what could happen. Not only have they stabilized the ecosystem, now the aspens are coming back. It has been a process of recovery. If Europe gives it time there will be good results.
Denmark needs to think about that. If they would welcome back the wolves, who knows what good will come of it. Returning apex predators brings positive results.
