All mainland European countries now have wolves, some with large numbers (e.g. Bulgaria, Greece, Italy, Poland, Romania, Spain, and Ukraine have more than 1000 individuals) while others, because of their limited size or because they were only recently recolonised, have just a few individuals. Most importantly, 19 out of 34 countries report increasing wolf numbers and only three countries report decreasing numbers.

The high number of wolves declared in Bulgaria is likely to be the result of very imprecise estimates.

With few exceptions wolves are a protected species and are managed through a national management plan.
