Data from: The spatial distribution and temporal trends of livestock damages caused by wolves in Europe

The preprint of the corresponding manuscript can be found here: doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2022.07.12.499715 Wolf populations are recovering and expanding across Europe, causing conflicts with livestock owners. We here compiled incident-based livestock damage data caused by wolves across 21 European countries for the years 2018, 2019 and 2020. The file "<strong>wolf_damages_2018_2019_2020_complete_data_to_publish.csv</strong>" contains the following information per incident: country, target species, cause, number of animals killed/injured/missing, assessment level probability, reported date, number of days until inspection, location, incidentID, uniqueID, NUS1_ID, NUTS2_ID, NUTS3_ID, damage prevention measure, number of wolves attacking, latitude, longitude, comments, metadata constraints. The file "<strong>nuts3_regions_and_LC_where_wolves_are_present.csv</strong>" contains information of the percentage of area occupied by wolves per NUTS3 region for selected land cover variables. The file "<strong>prevention_measures.csv</strong>" contains information about the financial support of livestock damage prevention measure per country or NUTS region The file "<strong>wolf_presence_now_vs_50_years_ago_nuts3.csv</strong>" contains information on NUTS3 regions that had a documented wolf presence 50 years ago.
