The conservation and recovery of large carnivores, especially the wolf, in Europe will mainly depend on their acceptance and tolerance by people that share their everyday space with them.
Local communities must be supportive of conservation and management and plans.
The event of the “Biodiversity, Hunting, Countryside” Intergroup on “Combatting the greatest threat to wolves in Europe: Illegal killing” discussed the importance of social acceptance in the conservation and management of Europe’s wolves and how to improve coexistence with local and rural communities.
EU decision-makers and scientists were asked to consider how we can promote better co-existence with wolves, in particular, to prevent illegal killing.
This online event was organised by the Intergroup in conjuction with the European Federation for Hunting and Conservation (FACE).
