, we are going to talk today about the wolf.

After a policy of systematic extermination on the metropolitan territory, the wolves have returned to the countryside since the beginning of the 1990s. They are currently 600 on the metropolitan territory.

Feared for centuries, hated for the death that he sowed among herds and sometimes among men, the wolf is protected by major texts, such as the Bern Convention on wild life of 1979, a ministerial decree of July 22 1993. Emblem of wildlife, such as the bear, the wolf provokes apparently insoluble divisions between its defenders and its slayers, shepherds, breeders or hunters ...

Will the wolf settle in the entire metropolitan area?

What place for the wolf today in France, while it moves, disperses, settles in new territories? What adaptation, what reaction to the wolf, today and tomorrow? We talk about it with Farid Benhammou, professor of geography in preparatory classes and associate researcher at the Ruralities laboratory of the University of Poitiers. He specializes in conflicts around bear and wolf conservation.

How many wolves would they be in the territory? Why are they found in Yvelines or Loire-Atlantique? Should we expect the wolf to settle permanently throughout the metropolitan area? Has France found a strategy of balance between the protection of the wolf, and cohabitation with the agricultural world? How to prepare, adapt and react to the arrival of the wolf in new territories? These are some of the questions from this interview to listen to above.
