Discover Wolves in Slovenia: New Brochure and Educational Poster Now Available
A new educational brochure and poster about wolves in Slovenia are now available, offering clear and engaging information about one of the country’s most fascinating wildlife species. The new publications aim to improve public understanding of wolves, promote wolf conservation, and support peaceful coexistence between humans and wolves.
The Wolf in Slovenia – Informative Brochure
The brochure The Wolf in Slovenia presents accessible and up-to-date information about the species and its role in the ecosystem. Readers can explore a detailed wolf “ID card” with key physical and biological characteristics, learn how to recognize signs of wolf presence in nature, and discover important facts about wolf habitat, territories, and communication.
The publication also explains wolf diet and hunting strategies, how wolf packs are structured, and the natural factors that regulate wolf populations. In addition, the brochure outlines the history of wolves in Slovenia, their legal protection status, and how scientists and researchers monitor and study wolf populations.
Importantly, it addresses key conservation challenges, including livestock depredation and the issue of wolf-dog hybrids. The brochure highlights why protecting wolves is essential not only for biodiversity but also for maintaining balanced ecosystems for future generations.

Educational Poster: Understanding Wolf Behaviour
Alongside the brochure, a double-sided educational poster has been developed to explain natural wolf behaviour and provide practical guidance on how to behave in areas inhabited by wolves.
The poster offers simple and clear advice that helps visitors, hikers, and local communities understand wolf behaviour and respond appropriately when visiting wolf habitats. Its goal is to support safe, informed, and respectful human-wolf coexistence.

Supporting Awareness and Coexistence
Both the brochure and the posters will be distributed during public events and shared with key stakeholders within the LWW project. They will also be made available in tourist information centers, schools, educational institutions, and community spaces across Slovenia.
Increasing knowledge about wolves helps reduce misconceptions and build tolerance. By raising awareness about wolf ecology, behaviour, and conservation, these educational materials aim to promote a more responsible and peaceful coexistence between people and wolves in Slovenia.
