Lead she-wolf of the Calanda pack is alive
The former lead she-wolf F07 of the Calanda pack is still alive. The twelve-year-old female appeared full of life in a camera trap.
She-wolf F07 documented in camera trap
The former lead she-wolf of the Calanda pack in the canton of Graubünden is still alive.
The female F07 was caught in a camera trap. By the side of the twelve-year-old she-wolf was a male wolf.
46 offspring in twelve years
The female wolf F07, who first appeared in 2011, has once again been documented full of life at the Calanda via camera trap. The mother of the Calanda pack has given birth to 46 young during her time in the canton.
It can be assumed that the she-wolf is now at least 12 years old. This is remarkable, as experts generally consider that wolves in the wild do not normally live beyond 10 years. The Geneva model demonstrates how professional wildlife management without recreational hunters enables the coexistence of humans and predators.

More on the subject of recreational hunting: In our dossiers on recreational hunting gather fact-checks, analyses and background reports. What the research says about this is shown by Hunting fact-checked: the state of research.
The position of IG Wild beim Wild: IG Wild beim Wild rejects recreational hunting. Our model is the canton of Geneva, which has managed without recreational hunting since 1974: without hunting seasons, without hunting dogs, without driven hunts, without high seats, without the animal cruelty and crime that go hand in hand with hunting season elsewhere. What has worked there for over fifty years disproves every position paper by JagdSchweiz. An association that bases its policy on claims it refutes in its own documents is not a professional organisation, but a factory for misinformation.
