Wolves in Germany and the western half of Poland (west of the 18° 08’ meridian) belong to the Central European Lowland population (KACZENSKY et al. 2013), short Central European wolf population (CEWP). This population is one of the fastest growing wolf populations in Europe today. Several dispersers have already reached Denmark and the Czech Republic.
The rapid expansion of this population presents a clear challenge for its conservation and monitoring.

Description
This final report is based on the standards for monitoring large carnivores in Germany (KACZENSKY et al. 2009, REINHARDT et al. in prep), which received strong input from European experts on wolf monitoring. National monitoring experts from Poland and Germany gave it its final shape. These experts are asked to give their input in future too, since the standards should be refined and adapted to the new knowledge gathered and experience gained through working with the standards.
