The primary goal of our “forest management” project is to establish, improve and manage forest lands, since these are an important component for wolf conservation and for its natural prey.

Forest management goals:

• Increase vegetation biodiversity;
• Increase forest land availability;
• Conserve and recover native forest stands;
• Protect against soil erosion;
• Encourage maintenance and development of  small woodlands;
• Preserve waterways and riparian vegetation;
• Guarantee habitat mosaics;
• Create refuge areas;
• Reduce forest fire risks

 

These goals are fundamental to create well adapted forest lands to local ecological conditions, increasing in the medium-term, the availability of favorable habitat for wolves and their natural prey.
