The canton of Ticino will reduce the wolf packs in the Onsernone and Val Colla valleys. The federal government has approved the culling of up to two thirds of the wolves born in 2024 in both valleys. This corresponds to two pups per pack.
According to cantonal information, three packs have been identified in Ticino so far. They live in the Onsernone Valley, in Val Colla and probably in the region between Monte Tamaro and Monte Gradiccioli, where wolves from a new pack have already been caught in photo traps. This pack was nicknamed Carvina.
The canton of Ticino actually also wants to regulate the Carvina pack. However, at the behest of the federal government, it must first provide evidence that this pack is reproducing.
