Brandenburg Introduces Wolf Warning Signs Amid Safety Concerns

A local authority in Seelow-Land installs signs to alert residents of potential wolf encounters following recent wildlife incidents.

The signs, labeled 'Achtung, Wolfsgebiet,' are a first for Brandenburg, Germany's leading wolf region.
The initiative follows a wolf attack on a deer near Gusow, raising concerns about wolves approaching human settlements.
Around eight signs will be placed along main paths near a forest area by the end of November.
The move aims to raise public awareness without inciting panic, according to the local wolf commissioner.
Debate continues in Germany over the wolf's protected status, with discussions on easing restrictions for problematic wolves.
