The thesis summarizes the information about the grey wolf management in Europe and focuses in particular on Slovakia. It includes information on wolf biology and ethology, food claims, spatial and temporal organization, relationships with human. It describes the differences between the countries of Europe in the context of different laws and measures for the protection or hunting of gray wolves. The aim of the thesis is a transparent overview of wolf management in Slovakia, a description of the advantages and disadvantages associated with wolf protection and also a proposal for a solution for improving the effectiveness of management measures. We can see in the discussion that the damage to livestock in Europe is escalating, in Italy, for example, we see two provinces that have decided to allow wolf hunting despite the fact that it is strictly protected in Italy. In Slovakia, we also see a growing tendency of damage to farm animals. The Wolf can be hunted in Slovakia from 1 November to 15 January or until the annual quota is fulfilled. However, there are 79 areas where the wolf cannot be hunted at all. The starting point is the improvement of the monitoring of the gray wolf and also the better protection of livestock, such as combined wooden fences with electric and also more active use of guard, shepherd dogs.
