Wolf
The movie Wolf has been named best wildlife film 2022! Wolf is a film about how one of the most maligned, demonized and persecuted animals finds its way back to the Netherlands, one of the most densely populated countries in the world. How the wolf works its way through a dense network of infrastructure and logistics, to do what it has always done: find a partner, procreate and raise the young.
The film makes it painfully clear how we humans have organized our lives without taking into account other living beings: with all those motorways, the felling of trees and hobby hunting. This film encourages us to think about how we can coexist peacefully and respectfully with other living beings.
It's a hopeful adventure movie.
Shot beautifully and lovingly. No nasty images, but a portrait of an intelligent, tender and brave animal.
Go see him at the movies!
If the wolf could have stayed in our regions forever, we would have fewer problems with wild boars now. Those 96 and 97 percent come from detailed studies on the choice of prey of wolves in Germany, among others. The first results of analyses of the choice of prey of wolves in Flanders by wolf experts at the Institute for Nature and Forest Research (INBO) clocked at 90 percent wolf droppings with deer or wild boar hair — 10 percent of the samples contained sheep and other domesticated animals. Hunters use the same mathematical logic that means that they always see far more partridges than nature lovers. Or recently, the logic with which the Huntersliga posited that ten sheep and other wolf victims had already fallen within wolfproof enclosures — with the underlying idea that they do not work and should therefore be hunted for wolves. The rectification by INBO employees, who collect the data, did not end up on the Jagersliga site. This is called conscious disinformation.
