In Latvia, hunters and citizens are being urged to utilize the 'Mednis' application to report any signs of wolf presence, such as tracks, droppings, and found carcasses. The app is designed to enable users to document their observations accurately by allowing them to take photos and provide GPS coordinates, facilitating better monitoring of wolf activities across the country. The recent update to the app features a map outlining locations where wolf signs have been detected, enhancing the community's ability to communicate varying levels of wolf interaction in their vicinity.

The State Forest Service (VMD) emphasizes the importance of tracking wolf-related damage to agricultural animals and pets reported by various residents. The organization regularly receives notifications regarding incidents of livestock and pet attacks, suggesting that there is an ongoing concern about the impact of wolf populations in rural areas. Reporting through the app not only helps manage the situation but also assists the VMD in making informed decisions about potential interventions, such as issuing permits for the removal of wolves that display atypical behavior close to human habitation.

By engaging the community in monitoring wolf activity, the VMD aims to create better dialogue between wildlife conservation efforts and the livestock farming community. Such initiatives are essential to finding a balance between maintaining wildlife populations and ensuring the safety and livelihood of farmers and residents, ultimately benefiting both conservation and agricultural interests in Latvia.
