National Wolf Information Point Opened

Wolves live in the Netherlands. Many people have questions or concerns about them. Until now, factual information was found in various places. The information point changes that. It answers questions about wolves, such as: how and where do wolves live? Can I safely go to the forest with my child, dog, or horse? How do I protect my animals?

There is also space to share concerns and experiences. The National Wolf Information Point thus offers not only information but also a listening ear.

The information point uses scientific research, recognized sources, and current data from the national Wolf Reporting Point.

Frequently asked questions and new insights are regularly added to the website. In this way, the National Wolf Information Point contributes to knowledge about wolves in the Netherlands.

The National Wolf Information Point was established by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Food Security and Nature and the joint provinces, united in the Interprovincial Consultation. It is part of the National Approach to Wolves. The execution is in the hands of BIJ12.

Jean Rummenie, State Secretary of Agriculture, Fisheries, Food Security and Nature:
I am glad that the National Wolf Information Point has gone live. There are great concerns about the presence of wolves in our country, so it is good that people have a place where they can turn with their questions. Local administrators have also expressed their support for the information point.

Jelle Beemsterboer, deputy and chairman of the Administrative Advisory Committee Rural Area:
From today, everyone can find current and important information about wolves at the National Wolf Information Point. With this, we take an important step: public information about wolves is now available in one central place. Anyone with questions or concerns about wolves can contact via the contact form on the website and phone number 0800-1212.
