First description of our project

First description of our project's idea
The coexistence of wolves, sheeps and farmers in France

Please answer to the three expected questions:
1. What Problem do you want to solve ?
We would like to address the problem of increase of livestock depredation. Over the years wolves have been growing in number and with it also the attacks on livestock, mostly sheep. In 2014 , 9000 animals have been killed by wolves in France which is 30% more than the previous years and is expected to rise in the coming years. The attacks of this kind have a strong negative impact on the business of farmers. They have been going on strikes with the government to increase the safety of their working condition.

2. Why does this problem exist?
There is no proper sustainable solution for safe guarding the livestock and to restraining the wolves in a non violent way. The wolf population is increasing by 15-20% every year and they are not controlled by other predators in the food chain. Wolves are territorial animals and it is illegal to hunt wolves in the wild. The government offers compensation to the farmers but it is not the same value as raising and looking after the sheep for many years.

3. What breakthrough are you commited to creating? In order to increase the safety conditions for farmers our team is committed to find a non violent solution to decrease the sheep mortality due to wolf attacks. We aim at finding a sustainable solution for creating an environment for co existence of farmers, sheep and wolves.
