Abstract
This publication attempts to present comprehensively the principal legal acts that oblige the EU and all its Member States to secure favourable conservation sta-tus of the wolf population, as well as international legal acts regarding that issue . It also emphasizes the obligation to protect the ecological continuity between the places these carnivores inhabit . It should be pointed out that the existing publica-tions on the EU and international wolf protection regulations are limited to the two undoubtedly most important acts: the Bern Convention and the Habitats Directive .
