still live in over half of Palestine, but have disappeared during the<br />

last 70 years from the more densely settled areas. It appears,<br />

however, that in some areas their population has increased<br />

recently due to easily available food from garbage dumps<br />

(Mendelssohn 1982, <strong>Khalaf</strong>-<strong>von</strong> <strong>Jaffa</strong> 1990). The "Israeli" Wild<br />

Animals Protection Law of 1954 completely protected almost all<br />

wild animals in Occupied Palestine except, among others, the<br />

Palestine Golden Jackal (Canis aureus palaestina <strong>Khalaf</strong>, 2008),<br />

which was later given complete protection. The Palestinian <strong>Fauna</strong><br />

(including the wolf) is also protected under the Palestinian<br />

Environment Law no. 7 of 1999.<br />
