Swiss Politician Faces Backlash Over Wolf Hunting Plan

Meanwhile, the Bern Convention has opened an investigation into Switzerland's hunting regulations.
Darbellay, who previously served as president of the CVP Switzerland from 2006 to 2016 and was a National Council member from 2003 to 2015, has proposed reducing the number of wolf packs in Wallis from eleven to three. This plan has sparked controversy, with many environmental advocates arguing that it is too drastic.
