Slovenian Environmental Agency (ARSO) is responsible for providing monetary compensation for damage caused by protected animal species. The amount of damages fluctuates depending on the available food in nature, according to spring cold or summer drought, there’s more damage expected. The year 2019 was like this, with 1.301 reported damage cases caused by protected animal species (76 % more than the year before), out of which, 1.173 received the compensation. A total of 570.580,39 EUR was paid in compensation, for damage caused by 28 different protected animal species. Most damage cases happened between the months of July and November, with most of the damage caused by large carnivores, and most of the damage being on small livestock.

Wolfs and brown bears caused the most damages in 2019. They appeared in areas where their presence had not been previously detected, and in these areas, due to less adequate protection of property, unexpected damages occurred. Because of that, many breeders more often sought sources of funding for additional protection measures at both the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of the Environment, and there has been a more pronounced demand from farmers to reduce the size of the wolf and brown bear populations by culling.
