Overview

• The preliminary 2024/25 survey recorded six wolf breeding pairs and 35 packs across Saxony as of July 10, 2025.
• Three new wolf territories were confirmed in Tresenwald, Lossatal and Muldenhammer, raising the total to 41.
• Oberlausitz remains the core region with 28 territories including one pair and 27 packs.
• Genetic analysis and camera traps helped researchers identify pack dynamics after a stray pup found in Lossatal was reunited with its parents and two siblings.
• The monitoring program, established in 2001 under the EU Habitats Directive, relies on genetic sampling and camera traps to inform regional and EU-level wolf management plans.
