Best practice

Large carnivore populations have recovered across Europe over recent decades. These guidelines explore how local residents can respond constructively to large carnivore presence in their areas.
As large carnivore populations recover and expand across Europe, public discourse about bears, wolves, lynx, and golden jackals has become increasingly polarised. Distinguishing fact from fiction is essential.
As European carnivore populations recover and expand into former ranges, vehicle-wildlife collisions have become increasingly frequent, posing serious risks to human safety, animal welfare, and conservation efforts.
Improper waste management is one of the leading causes of human-wildlife conflict in residential and rural areas. This creates dangerous situations for both people and animals.
Most large carnivores naturally avoid humans and will retreat if they detect your presence. This guide provides clear instructions for local residents, families, and pet owners on how to react during encounters with bears, wolves, lynx, and golden jackals.
Livestock guardian dogs can be an effective part of a wider livestock-protection system. They live with the herd, detect threats and discourage predators through their presence, barking and territorial behaviour.
Dogs used for hunting, forestry, herding, monitoring or other outdoor work may enter large-carnivore habitat before their handlers and may move beyond direct control. This can increase the risk of encounters.
This best practice provides practical guidance for foresters, hunters and foragers to reduce risks, prevent conflicts and safely coexist with bears, wolves, lynx and golden jackals.
