Golden Jackal informal study Group in Europe GOJAGE


History
After 3rd action of specialized monitoring for the golden jackal populations in natural areas from Romania, Azimut 2011 (February 2011), several discussions took place with a topic of European concerns regarding recent phenomenon of natural resettlement of Europe by the golden jackal species and about the importance that would be a unification of studies and data from Europe and abroad.

Department of Ecology NGO Crispus Sibiu ROMANIA and Natural History Museum from Udine ITALY took the initiative to form this informal study group and agreed to open a free website for a better collection of information and presentation of current concerns regarding the study of jackal populations in Europe (Ovidiu C. Banea & Luca Lapini).
