Wolf predations in Ticino spark calls for improved management
Recent wolf predations in Canton Ticino have intensified calls for improved wildlife management. An attack at Alpe Foppail resulted in the loss of nine livestock animals and the disappearance of eleven others. Piero Marchesi, a national councillor, has urged Ticino to adopt management approaches successfully implemented in the Graubünden and Valais regions.
In Italy, a study by the Università della Tuscia highlights the growing tension between farmers and wolves. Among 350 Italian livestock farmers surveyed between 2023 and 2024, 70% reported seeking assistance to manage wolf predations. The research indicates that tolerance levels and management strategies vary significantly based on geographic location and local history.
