In northern Portugal, farmers in the Trás-os-Montes region reported several wolf attacks on livestock in the Marão and Alvão mountains. Local agricultural representatives criticized existing compensation from the Institute for Nature Conservation and Forests (ICNF), arguing that the payouts did not reflect the actual value of the animals and called for increased subsidies and better resources for herd protection. In response to these issues, the Portuguese government updated the compensation regime for producers affected by Iberian wolf attacks.
