Wolf proofs

The map shows the occupied cells of the last completed monitoring year (the monitoring year starts on 01.05 and ends on 30.04 of the following year, usually in December of the following year). The first safe detection of a wolf in Baden-Württemberg was achieved in 2015. The filled 10 x 10 km grid cells were marked as “occupied” according to the BfN’s monitoring standards (either 1x C1 or 3x C2 according to SCALP criteria) and always refer to the monitoring year, which begins on 01.05 and ends on 30.04 of the following year. C1 detection refers to wolves found dead, photo or video documentation, captured animals and genetic evidence. No telemetry data were available at the time of the first provision of this data. This may change in the future. Evaluated telemetry data can count as C1 detection according to the monitoring standards of the BfN. C2 evidence is considered to be confirmed by experienced persons, such as cracks of farm animals and wild animals or traces. For reasons of animal sensitivity as well as large areas, the evidence is only published with a resolution of 10 x 10 km. The evidence comes from the FVA and is based on both own investigations and reports from external persons.
