Hares in Europe, country by country

Species status, how hunting is organised, counts, rules on returning hares to the wild: for each of the 37 European countries covered here, a page summarises what national public sources say (ministries, statistics offices, red lists, hunters’ associations) and cites each of them.

Every page exists in French, in English and in the country’s language. For the species itself, see our Brown hare entry; for the hares of GIBIS, a game breeder based in Isère, France, see our hares.
