- Gelderland accounted for at least 434 confirmed incidents, making it the clear hotspot in 2025.
- Barneveld recorded about 130 attacks, the highest tally for a single municipality.
- BIJ12 found nearly 90% of affected properties lacked adequate protections, and only 66 confirmed attacks occurred where a proper wolf-proof fence was in place.
- Reporting to BIJ12 is voluntary and only fully verified cases are counted, suggesting an undercount, while Zeeland had no suspected wolf damage reported in 2025.
