Passive surveillance in WB in the whole country (total 52): n = 8 (former Part I/II), n = 23 (the rest of Wallonia) and n = 21 (Flanders).

Other isolated bones (n = 27) were found in the former Part I/II due to active search but they could not longer be analysed because of advanced decay.

Active surveillance in WB (total 228): n = 220 (shot at night, trapped, culled or road victims in the former Part I/II) and n = 8 (sanitary shots in the rest of Wallonia).
