Consolidating existing knowledge on pastoral wildlife interactions

Tuesday, 24th November 2026, 15:00 - 17:00 CET

Join us for the fourth webinar in our joint series with EAAP! 

This session brings together four major reviews on pastoralism-wildlife interactions developed within the CoCo Project, each covering a different topic and approach. Swedish partner Umeå University will open with findings on pastoral-wildlife policy interactions. Norwegian partner INN will follow with insights on land and forest use in the context of wildlife management. Spanish partner CITA will then present findings on typologies of pastoral systems, before German partner ZALF closes with a look at the economic dimension, specifically the values and externalities of wildlife and pastoralism.

Finally, we will turn to the big question: how do all these findings come together? This is the challenge facing the CoCo team as we enter the project's final year, working towards a roadmap for coexistence.

Press Release

It's not just about the money: Norway's farmers and Europe's carnivores are running out of shared space

Text for Teaser and Metatags

Every spring, as livestock leave their winter shelters for the high mountain pastures of Europe, farmers like Kari in Skjåk, Norway, face a season of uncertainty. Large carnivores –wolverines, wolves, bears– have been steadily returning to landscapes where they had been absent for generations.

Traditional knowledge, new tools

Text for Teaser and Metatags

Across Europe, generations of pastoralists built their farming practices around an understanding of large carnivore behaviour. As large carnivores return, that knowledge is more relevant than ever. The CoCo project combines herders' expertise with new tools and technologies.
