Objectives
The objective is to adapt a management model and implement technology that reduces the impact of wolf attacks on at least two pilot small ruminant farms, reducing the number of working hours dedicated to monitoring and protecting herds in the presence of wolves, and promoting effective outreach to at least 1,400 farmers who may have small ruminant herds and wolf problems.
