Project Objectives
The European Wilderness Society is a subcontractor of the EUROLARGECARNIVORES project which aims to improve transboundary cooperation and population management of large carnivores in Europe. Specifically, it aims to:
- Boost awareness among local and national authorities and introduce communication tools that are customised to the geographical and cultural situation;
- Inform and actively engage key actors in a consensus-driven approach on their needs and responsibilities;
- Develop cross-border, interdisciplinary pathways to engage formerly passive actors and bring new perspectives and knowledge to large carnivore management;
- Contribute to an EU-wide common understanding of stakeholder-oriented population based large carnivore conservation strategies;
- Contribute to the implementation of the EU policy paper “Key actions for large carnivore populations in Europe”;
- Give added value to existing large carnivores projects (LIFE and other programmes) by promoting their results and sharing best practices;
- Provide local stakeholders such as farmers with direct engagement opportunities and customised learning experiences through a trusted peer-to-peer approach; and
- Provide support to EU policy development through concrete documentation of the contribution to the above mentioned EU policy paper.
