在过去的几十年里，狼的管理目标在很大程度上从国家资助的控制转向保护。在这种地位的变化之后，政策方法发生了一系列变化，这些政策方法试图平衡狼的生态需求与管理我们大陆的政治结构，以及面对与农村利益的各种冲突时与狼分享我们的景观的挑战。最关键的挑战之一是使我们的行政结构适应狼种群活动的生物规模。它们的低密度和大范围的移动导致生物种群跨越许多国家和国际管辖区。我们描述了一系列的步骤，多年来已经通过了整合的想法，在生物现实的规模到政策的两个主要的泛欧立法框架，伯尔尼公约和欧洲议会指令狼管理。这导致了一套指导方针，由欧洲委员会的DG环境和伯尔尼公约常设委员会，旨在制定一个未来的狼保护的基础上管理狼的种群在其生物边界和采取协调，但灵活和务实的政策。
During the last few decades wolf management objectives have largely switched from state sponsored control to conservation. Following this change in status there has been a succession of changes in policy approaches that have sought to balance the ecological needs of wolves with the political structures that govern our continent and the challenges of sharing our landscapes with wolves in the face of diverse conflicts with rural interests. One of the most crucial challenges is adapting our administrative structures to the biological scales at which wolf populations operate. Their low densities and wide ranging movements result in biological populations that span many national and international jurisdictions. We describe a series of steps that have been adopted over the years to integrate the idea of managing wolves at a biologically realistic scale into the policies of the two major pan-European legislative frameworks, the Bern Convention and the Habitats Directive. This has resulted in a set of guidelines, endorsed by both the European Commission’s DG Environment and the Bern Convention Standing Committee, that aim to chart out a future for wolf conservation based on managing wolf populations within their biological borders and adopting coordinated, yet flexible and pragmatic, polices.
