According to the foundation, experts have identified a total of 350 wolves. A pack established itself for the first time in the canton of Obwalden, while another pack was created in the canton of Neuchâtel.
The researchers also found some special evidence. In the canton of Bern, they identified a pregnant female wolf as the first female from the Central European population to be registered in Switzerland. According to the report, the majority of Swiss wolves still originate from the Alpine population.
In canton Valais, the foundation also documented double reproduction for the first time, with two females in a pack reproducing at the same time.
