About

CoCo is a Horizon Europe project focusing on wildlife and pastoralism. It brings together 17 partners from 12 different countries in a consortium led by INN. The partnership consists of a mixture of partners from different fields (e.g. agriculture, biology, social sciences, communication, conflict management) and stakeholders (e.g. hunters, landowners). We aim to gather knowledge from other pastoralists, hunters and landowners, through the project activities. This diversity of knowledge, brought together by different experts, allows us to find solutions that harmonise pastoralism and wildlife.
