The *wolf was once the most widespread mammal in the world next to humans: until the Neolithic period, wolves were found almost throughout the entire northern hemisphere. Today, however, they live only on less than two thirds of the original habitat.

From many parts of Europe the wolf disappeared even completely - and there, where it was exterminated by humans. In Germany, for example, the last evidence of a wolf pack disappeared around 1850 in Brandenburg. In 1990, the animals were placed under legal protection throughout Germany and the foundation stone for the return of the wolves was laid.

Since the beginning of the 21st century, the reintroduction of the wolf in Europe and thus also in Germany has gained momentum. Against the background of the worldwide as well as the Germany-wide loss of biodiversity, this is a positive development and shows that especially the strict protection on national and international level is effective.
