Dear colleagues,

In the Sourthern part of Belgium (Wallonia), the Admistration
recommended to their political authorities not to endorse a downgrading
of the protection status of the wolves.

Here is an ~objecive video of the situation in our ecosystem, that also
cover interactions with previously existing potential prey/hunting
populations.

In French. Pls activate the automatic translation service provided by
Youtube if needed. Otherwise, I'm ready to help ;-)

Kind regards,

-Serge
