The traces in the woods tell the story of the life of its inhabitants. From tracks to knowledge: wolf monitoring in Italy
The conference will be held on November 1st on the occasion of the Genoa Science Festival, which this year revolves around the key word Footprints.
We study the traces to understand which animal species are present, analyze the dynamics of animal populations and their interactions with the environment. Technologies have changed a lot: camera traps, thermal viewers, drones, DNA…

From the tracks we can also estimate the consistencies of animals that are difficult to study, as in the case of the wolf which is rarely observed.
In the national monitoring recently concluded and coordinated by ISPRA, a network of over 3000 operators covered over 85,000 km on foot, recording 25,000 signs of the presence of the wolf. It was possible to estimate the overall size of the wolf population in Italy, which was between 2945 and 3608 individuals.
