      Looks fine.

      Allthough, I would love to see an Italian zoo-based effort on Appennine / Abruzzo wolf conservation breeding become established (see also Bioparco di Roma now with Italian wolf pairing).

      There is effectively a captive breeding programme for Canis lupus italicus managed by the State Forestry Corps. Regrettably, zoos are not likely to be involved in conservation programmes for native taxa in Italy.
      Furthermore, the wolf population is incresing and about 2.000 individuals are believed to roam the country, so there is not need for a captive breeding programme.
      Quite a different situation from the Apennine bear
    There are no comments to display.
