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.
