As wolves reclaim their historic range across Europe, their return to the Netherlands has ignited conversations about conservation, coexistence, and the role of science in preserving biodiversity. At DivjaLabs, we undertook a genetic study commissioned by the Province of Gelderland to address key questions about the ancestry of Dutch wolves. Here’s what we discovered.
