from wolf
The wolf has long held a complex and multifaceted place in human history, culture, and psychology. wolves have been both revered and feared - symbols of wilderness, freedom, and danger, often featured in folklore and myths as creatures to be both respected and cautious of.
In the past, wolves were hunted to near extinction in Germany due to concerns about livestock predation and human safety. By the 19th and 20th centuries, wolves were mostly eradicated from the country. In recent decades, however, as environmental attitudes have shifted and conservation efforts gained momentum, the wolf has made a gradual comeback in Germany. This reappearance has sparked debates and fears, as people grapple with balancing the ecological importance of wolves with the concerns of farmers and shepherds. Farmers and shepherds must adapt their practices to coexist with the presence of wolves, seeking ways to protect their flocks while also acknowledging the ecological benefits that predators bring to the landscape.
