Karol Kalisky, Arolla Film, SlovakiaEuropean conservation officials have adopted EU proposals to end of protections for wolves in EuropeThe first snow of winter has fallen in Sanmartin, a village in Romania’s eastern Carpathian mountains.Shepherd József Rácz and his sons keep 500 ewes up on the high pasture here. It’s a hard life: when he’s not worrying about milking his sheep, which he does three times a day, he’s worrying about protecting them from predators.Each year, József loses five or six of his herd to a wolf, or a bear. It’s why he keeps 17 dogs.“A good dog is the best tool a shepherd has, to protect his flock at night, and in the daytime too,” the farmer says.On Tuesday, 45 years of strict protection for grey wolves in Europe came to an end, after conservation officials adopted EU measures to downgrade the animal's protected status.The news means that grey wolves will be moved from Annex II (strictly protected) to Annex III (protected) of the Bern Convention. This will remove many of the safeguards that have allowed the animals to flourish in Europe and means that from the beginning of March next year, each EU country will be able to set an annual quota of wolves to kill.József keeps 17 dogs in a bid to ward predators away from his sheepThe Commission argued that the number of wolves in the EU has almost doubled, from 11,000 in 2012 to over 20,000 today, and that they were causing too much damage to livestock.The Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF) has called the decision "extremely disappointing"."Wolf populations have barely recovered after going extinct in most parts of Europe, and weakening their protection could jeopardise this fragile recovery," said the WWF in a statement.The organisation also accused the Commission of prioritising political decisions over science, saying the decision was influenced by "personal reasons after Commission President Von der Leyen’s pony was killed by a wolf in 2022".Wildlife campaigners have argued that improved protection methods, including trained sheep dogs, would be a better solution than removing safeguards. They say that wolves keep down numbers of deer and wild boar, which damage trees and crops. Wolves also prevent the spread of diseases by eating sick animals.In the town of Baile Tusnad, in a valley near József’s village, wildlife experts met recently to discuss large carnivores. Most, though not all, oppose the hunting of wolves and bears.“African swine fever is spreading all over Europe,” said Michal Haring, a biologist from Slovakia, “and the wolf is a very good ‘doctor’ for this, suppressing the disease. Wolves cannot catch it.”Another argument against shooting wolves is that they hunt in packs of five to eight, usually a pair and their offspring. If the older wolves are shot, the pack fragments, making it harder for them to catch deer and wild boar.“Individual wolves are more likely to attack sheep and other domesticated animals,” Mr Haring explains.Jozef Fiala, Arolla Film, SlovakiaWolves keep down deer and boar populations, and also help to suppress disease, campaigners sayCampaigners also pointed to a 2023 EU report, which states that only around 50,000 of Europe’s 68 million sheep and goats are killed by wolves each year – 0.065% of the total number – adding that the overall impact of wolves on EU livestock is “very small”.Moreover, it says there have been no fatal wolf attacks on humans for 40 years.“If we expect countries like India or Indonesia to protect their tigers,” says Laurent Schley, head of the Wildlife department in the Luxembourg government, “and Africans to protect lions and elephants, then we as relatively rich Europeans should be willing to tolerate some wolves.” Luxembourg is one of the few western European countries where no wolves have been sighted yet, Mr Schley believes it’s only a matter of time.“We have very high densities of deer and wild boar, so the conditions for the wolf are there. "Of course, if individual wolves or packs start killing too much livestock, or were to show aggression towards humans, we would have to draw the line. Human safety always comes first.”Wolves can devastate flocks of sheepBut back on the mountainside, József says wolves are dangerous because “they’re clever animals”. He favours tougher legal measures to cull the predators.Bears approach through the forest, treading on branches and alerting his dogs, József says: if they break into the wickerwork enclosure where his herd stay at night, they will only grab one animal.If a pack of wolves get in though, they can kill dozens of sheep at a time.Last year, József’s favourite dog, Moody, was killed by wolves, in broad daylight, as they moved from one pasture to the next. All they found was his bloodied pelt.The more wolves there are, József says, the more likely they will take his sheep.And it takes a long time to train a good dog.

Every Morning

Arolla (VS), Switzerland (February entry in my Swiss Mini Calendar, 2024)

Her Sabah Görsen de inanamazsın, Sabah güneşin ilk ışıkları Buzulun Kar Tanecikleriyle Nazar boncukları gibi Parlak oyunlar oynar Kalbinde sessiz. Duysan da inanamazsın, Hiç sesleri yok ki, Sıkıca kucaklaşan adımların Ve nazlı kardeşleri, oldukları gibi, Boşverir zirveleri, Olur kendi yerinde, mutluluğun kendi. Olsan da inanamazsın, Pıt pıt atan tam kalbin Ve içinde tamtam eden yamyam sevenin; Her an tıp tıp damlayan düşüncelerin gibi, Her Sabah, her sayfa, her kelime niyet, umut dolar. İnan ki, her Gece, yaşar bilmeden, kendi olur. Gel gece, ye beni!

English translation (via DeepL, ChatGPT 3.5 and silly me!):

Every Morning You can't believe it even if you see it, The first rays of the morning sun With glacier's Snowflakes Like evil eye beads Play bright games Silently in your heart. You can't believe it even if you hear it, They have no voices, Embracing tightly, your steps, As they are, with their coy siblings, Forget their peaks, In their own spots, be happiness itself. You can't believe it even if you become it, Your boom boom beating heart Full with the cannibal lover drum drum inside it; Like your thoughts drip drip every moment, Fill every morning, every page, every word with intention, hope. Believe me, every Night, lives unbeknownst, becomes its own self. Come O night, devour me!
