Der Schutz des wildlebenden Wolfs im Mehrebenensystem

»The Protection of the Wild Wolf in the Multi-Level System. An Examination of International, EU and National Regulations with Special Consideration of Lethal Removal«: The return of the wolf is a success story of species conservation law. However, it has given rise to a number of conflicts that the law is trying to resolve. There is a strict protection status at all legal levels, i.e. at international, EU and national level, but exceptions, in particular lethal removal, are possible. The political endeavours to lower the protection status in future are only compatible with higher-ranking law if they start at the level of international law and proceed »top-down«.
