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.
