Transylvania has the largest wolf population in Europe. In fact the total population here is greater than all the wild wolves of western Europe put together. Many people have an irrational fear of wolves, which has lead to centuries of persecution by hunting and trapping, leading to their near irradiation in many parts of the continent. This is one of the great tragedies of the natural world as they are a keystone species, one natures most important apex predators, considered to be vital ecosystem managers. In reality we now know that they pose no threat to humans, so why do we continue to persecute them? #Transylvania #Wolves wildtransylvania/2010/06/wolves-in-woods.html
