Since the EU Platform was created in 2014, the members have collected case studies which document how coexistence between people and large carnivores can be supported in different countries.
These case studies present lessons learned in one location which can be applied in other situations or member states. The Platform is aware that there is not a one-size-fits-all approach to large carnivore management. This is why management has to be tailored to the local circumstances.
A database of all collected case studies to date can be downloaded here.
Case studies are divided into the following categories.

RSSThe Dutch Dune Revival project restored nearly 190 hectares of white dune, grey dune and dune slack habitats.
Restoring and managing peatlands improves water retention and quality, stores carbon, reduces greenhouse gas emissions and increases biodiversity. Since 1992 LIFE has been working hard on this.
Sustainable climate adaptation solutions can help protect cities against the devastating effects of climate change. Rotterdam is leading the way through the LIFE URBAN-ADAPT project.
The LIFE Olivares Vivos project developed an innovative model of olive growing that can be used elsewhere in Europe.

Several LIFE projects have helped restore Europe’s threatened mussel populations.
The immersive exhibition "through the eyes of a wolf" lets visitors experience the the perspective of a young wolf in dispersal in Italy.
MONITORING - Slovakia and Switzerland collaborated and combined scientific monitoring, genetic rescue efforts, and extensive public engagement to preserve lynx populations.
In Austria, lynx populations are rather small and can be divided into one population at the Austro-German-Czech border (60 to 80 lynxes in total) as well as a second population in the national park Kalkalpen (consisting of 6 confirmed lynxes in 2018).
