Green Impact among the signatories of a broad coalition has formally called on the European Commission to investigate the recent killing in Austria of Mirco

Green Impact among the signatories of a  broad coalition of European environmental organisations, scientific experts, wildlife professionals and conservation advocates has formally called on the European Commission to investigate the recent killing in Austria of Mirco, a young Italian GPS-collared wolf that was part of a long-term scientific research project coordinated by the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park and the University of Sassari.

The letter, addressed to Commissioner for Environment Jessika Roswall and copied to the Secretariat of the Bern Convention, raises serious concerns regarding the compatibility of Austrian wolf management practices with the EU Habitats Directive, the Bern Convention and the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union.
