'Thanks to strict legal protections, the native gray wolf (Canis lupus) has made a dramatic comeback since 2000, especially in Western Europe, where it was exterminated in the 19th century. That’s “a major conservation achievement,” says Joachim Mergeay, a conservation geneticist at the Research Institute for Nature and Forest in Belgium. But the growing, sometimes grisly toll on livestock and a handful of attacks on humans have strained the limits of coexistence. Some citizens have taken matters in their own hands: In Italy’s Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park, 18 wolves were found dead in late April, along with traces of bait poisoned with pesticides.'
