Wolves are continuing to make a comeback across Europe, and is a notable conservation success. Annually, wolves kill around 56,000 domestic animals in the EU, yet, they may also bring potential benefits, such as reducing car accidents with wild ungulates and creating opportunities for ecotourism, though these positive impacts are often overlooked. The coexistence of wolves with human activities, notably farming and hunting, remains a challenge and requires navigating complex social, economic, and political contexts.
