France is to allow the wolf population to grow from about 360 now to 500 by 2023, despite protests from farmers worried about their livestock.
A new plan announced by the government represents a rise of nearly 40% in the wolf population.

Wolves are listed as a protected species by the Bern Convention that France has signed up to.
