How Can We Co-Exist With More Large Carnivores?
From The Norwegian Institute for Nature Research:
Large carnivores have returned to Europe—but the wolf protection status is being reduced. A major EU-funded project, led from Norway, aims to identify how to ensure the best possible coexistence between people and carnivores.
Over the past 30 to 40 years, large carnivores such as the brown bear and wolf have made a comeback across many parts of Europe, with populations growing significantly in several EU countries. This is partly due to conservation legislation like the Bern Convention and the EU Habitats Directive. In addition, changes in wildlife and agricultural management have created more favorable conditions for prey species such as deer and wild boar.
