Gray Wolf in the rain

Wolf in the rain, the Mercantour National Park, France

 

Since 1992, the wolves that had been exterminated in France over a hundred years ago are living here again. They kept migrating across the Italian ‘green border’.

Today, there are 25 to 30 wolves divided into packs of five to six, roaming through the seven valleys of the park again.

 

The Mercantour National Park is a unique nature reserve located in the very southeast corner of France. It covers an area of 2152 square kilometers, almost the size of the Principality of Monaco. The Mercantour is a unique nature reserve that aims at integrating distinguished ideals such as the protection of nature, the local and economic advancement and the preservation of traditional land use.
