Next EUROPARC event: Workshop – Coexistence with large carnivores: the role of Protected Areas

Published on:

EUROPARC is actively working to improve coexistence between people and large carnivores in and around Protected Areas. This workshop, which is being organized in partnership with the EU Platform on Coexistence between People and Large Carnivores, aims to better identify the needs and challenges Protected Areas and managing authorities are facing to implement processes and measures for coexistence.

For this, a specific participatory session will take place during the meeting, giving you the chance to share concrete needs, challenges, perspectives and to propose solutions.

The workshop will also be an opportunity to provide an update on progress made at the EU level for the conservation of large carnivores, looking at policy developments, European platforms and project implementation, with an insight on new targets for the future and the role of Protected Areas.

During the workshop we will also present and share some concrete case studies, looking at the role and experiences of Protected Areas in leading and promoting processes and measures for coexistence in their areas. We will focus our attention on effective communication, participatory process, partnership building and damage prevention measures.
