Lone Wolf – Walking the Faultiness of Europe

An Author Talk with Adam Weymouth
6pm Thursday 19 June 2025

In 2011, a young wolf named Slavc set out from Slovenia. Tracked by GPS, he travelled 1000 miles through the Alps, arriving four months later on the Lessinian plateau, north of Verona. There had been no wolves in northern Italy for a century, but here he crossed paths with a female wolf on a walkabout of her own. A decade later and there are more than a hundred wolves back in the area, the result of their remarkable meeting.

For Lone Wolf, Adam Weymouth walked Slavc’s path a decade on, examining the changes facing these wild corners of Europe. Here, the call to rewild meets the urge to preserve culture; nationalism and globalisation pull apart; climate change is radically changing lives; and migrants, too, are on the move.

Lone Wolf looks at all those grappling with the animals’ return, as their own worlds shift about them at an ever accelerating rate.

He will be in conversation with Isabella Tree, with time afterwards for Q&A.
