Descrizione breve (contesto, obiettivi, azioni) |
Project goals: The ultimate goal is to improve wolf-human coexistence, at the wolf alpine population level, by implementing coordinate actions over the entire Alpine ecosystem, both where the wolf has been present for 20 years (Western Alps) and where the process of re-colonization has just started (Central-Eastern Alps), based on the identified threats for the species. The main objectives are:
1. Population-level surveillance, management and conservation of wolves in the Alps. The main objective of the project is to overcome the current fragmented practices of wolf management (both at local and country level) and lead the way for transition to population-level conservation management and surveillance. 2. Decrease of human-wolf conflict and promotion of coexistence
