         First DRAFT
         Memorandum of         Understanding for Transboundary Wolf Management             between    Germany
         (Lower Saxony,       North   Rhein-Westphalia) and the Netherlands.
         To be  adapted by the governments of Lower Saxony, North Rhein-Westphalia, provincie
         Groningen, provincie Drenthe, provincie Overijssel, provincie Gelderland, provincie Limburg,
         provincie Noord-Brabant.
         1. Regarding monitoring
         We observe:
                 Wolves from the Central           European population are in a phase   of territorial expansion.
                 Roaming young         wolves     exploring new areas frequently cross   the German-Dutch
                 border in both directions.
                 It is possible, if   not  likely, that wolves will establish transboundary   territories in the
                 nearby future.
                 For purpose of monitoring wolves and livestock damage             prevention exchange of
                 information between Germany and the Netherlands on a               regular base would be most
                 helpful.
         We agree     on:
                 The    use  of  (essentially)   the  same  monitoring  methods and standards     (e.g. SCALP
                 criteria) to   determine where wolves        occur.
                 Exchange       data  on  wolf   occurrence  within 50 kilometres from the border at least each
                 half year, including      date, location, type of observation and if obtained genetic
                 information.
                 In  case a    territory seems to be established near the border, this information will be
                 exchanged directly to determine if both sides of the border are within such a territory.
                 In case of a transboundary territory, its edges will be determined by scientific data and
                 will be adapted by the governments involved.
                 It is up to each government to decide if a buffer zone outside a territory will be
                 established to make payments for livestock prevention.
                 If a transboundary territory is confirmed, communication by the governments involved
                 will be synchronised.
         2. Regarding     wolves    showing problematic      behaviour
         We observe:
                 Individual wolves may show behaviour that is not acceptable from the human point of
                 view    (e.g. aggression towards people, repeated attacks on well protected livestock).
                 For the acceptance of the wolf as a species, governments do have legal tools to
                 discourage problematic behaviour of such wolves or even allow lethal measurements.
                 In case a wolf with problematic behaviour occurs on both sides of the border, it is of
                 importance that legal measurements are adapted on both sides as well.
         We agree     on:
                                                                                                                  0000000243

         e
           Exchange directly   information on  wolves   showing problematic   behaviour within 50
           kilometres from the border.
         e If such a wolf is known  or expected   to occur on both sides of the border, the
           governments    that are involved will prepare  together a strategy and will synchronize
           their communication towards the public.
                                                                                                   0000000244
