The European Parliament's Biodiversity, Hunting, Rural Intergroup, together with the European Federation for Hunting and Conservation (FACE) and the European Landowners Organization (ELO), hosted the online event “Next steps for conservation and wolf management in Europe". Much of the discussion revolved around the European Commission's proposal to change the international status of wolves under the Bern Convention. A high-level panel of speakers comprising members of the European Parliament, the European Commission, wildlife conservation experts and key stakeholders shared their views on the challenges and opportunities for wolf conservation and management in Europe. Alberto Arroyo Schnell, Program and Policy Officer at the IUCN European Regional Office, who moderated the event, effectively enriched the debate by answering a series of questions raised by a broad audience. His engaging and informative approach highlighted the value of interactive dialogue in addressing complex conservation issues.
