2022, Biological ConservationCitation Excerpt :On the other hand, there was a remarkable increment in the game hunting business and associated intensive game ranching, in central Spain and the Sierra Morena area during the 1970s, with an ensuing increase in the number of large fenced game areas (Alvarado-Corrales, 1991; Martínez-Garrido, 1991; López-Bao et al., 2015). This may have led to a resurgence of wolf persecution because of perceived competition for game species and other economic losses associated with this model of hunting business (Blanco et al., 1990, 1992; López-Bao et al., 2015). From a conservation point of view, the wolf in Spain would not meet the conditions required to be included on the Spanish List of Threatened Species (BOE-A-2017-2977) as a Vulnerable species.
Source-sink dynamics promote wolf persistence in human-modified landscapes: Insights from long-term monitoring
2021, Biological ConservationCitation Excerpt :In Spain, depending on each autonomous region, wolves are managed from hunting or administrative culling to full protection, while in Portugal are fully protected by law since 1988 and listed as “Endangered” in the Portuguese Red Data Book (Cabral et al., 2005). Studies based on Iberian wolf population monitoring, both at national and regional scales, have been restricted to a few years long and resort mostly to sign, visual and acoustic detection of wolves (Blanco et al., 1992; Blanco and Cortés, 2007; Eggermann et al., 2011; Llaneza et al., 2005; Pimenta et al., 2005). The lack of studies addressing wolf population dynamics is particularly critical as the Iberian wolf persists in highly heterogeneous and human-modified landscapes, showing a high trophic dependency on domestic animals and facing threats such as human persecution, habitat disturbance, and scarcity of natural prey (Blanco et al., 1992; Eggermann et al., 2011; Hindrikson et al., 2017; Pimenta et al., 2018; Rio-Maior et al., 2019).
European agreements for nature conservation need to explicitly address wolf-dog hybridisation

2020, Biological ConservationCitation Excerpt :However, tensions run high when carnivores return to farming or hunting regions (Bangs et al., 1998; Jhala and Giles, 1991; Landa et al., 1999). Game-keepers, farmers and ranchers typically oppose what they perceive to be cumbersome protective measures (Andersson, 1977; Bath and Buchanan, 1989) and may even support illegal killing and eradication programs (Blanco et al., 1992; Boitani and Ciucci, 1993; Huber et al., 1993; Jackson and Hunter, 1996). Social studies of human-large carnivore relationships have documented improving attitudes following a reduction of livestock killed (Gyorgy, 1984; Huber et al., 1993), suggesting that mitigating attacks on livestock is crucial for managing stakeholder attitudes to facilitate conservation.
