A major collection of interdisciplinary research, years in the making, has been published under the title “Sharing landscapes with wildlife: conflict and coexistence between High Nature Value pastoral systems and large carnivores”.

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.

What does a wooden herding stick reveal about the shared identity of pastoralists across continents? For the CoCo project, a study visit to the mountains of northern Spain offered an unexpected answer – one that connects the valleys of Asturias to the savannahs of East Africa.
