Most of the people living there are elders. People roam alone the shady paths of the oak forests to pick mushrooms. Shepherds with 300 animals don't lost a single one by wolves. This place has one of the healthiest deer population with bigger trophies in the country, because the wolves. Many young families could make a live here from nature tourism, also because the wolves. Absolutely spectacular place. Until it was left burn entirely a few years ago in a very suspicious chain of events
And... guess what?. No one man, women or little child attacked for a century. More people are killed by hunters each year than by wolves. More people are maimed by bulls and cows with calves. The smaller subspecies of Iberian wolves don't want to hang with us or to be near us in any way.
As I said before, this is the healthiest wolf population in the entire European Union [1], the place with a greater density of wolves. To add context the Romanian Carpathians have 2.35 wolves/100 Km2. Sweden has one single location with 3.3 wolves by 100 Km2 and between 0.5 and 1.5 wolves in the rest of Norway plus Sweden
Well. This Spanish place has 5-7 wolves by each 100 Km2. This alone proves that nobody is hunting wolves unofficially here [2].
And is not just a place with a lot of wolves, is a place where the deer populations flourish and thrive incredibly well [3]. The wolves are more valuable alive and don't attack humans at all. So, it can be done.
---------------
[1] Chernobyl could be the only part of the European continent with more wolves by 100 Km 2, but is not a place really inhabited by humans and is not in the EU.
[2] The species is managed as a game resource. Some wolves are auctioned when needed but respecting the hierarchy on the packs.
[3] Moreover, after the place was burnt, the deer started to die massively by diseases until predators population were stabilized again.
Forest rich areas are close to urban areas, and they have been spotted in border regions already.
