The sixth Dinaric Balkan Pindos Platform Conference brought together government officials, experts, and stakeholders from across the region to address shared challenges in managing large carnivores across the Dinaric-Balkan-Pindos region. The meeting placed special emphasis on strengthening livestock protection and practical cooperation for coexistence.

Several CoCo team members were actively involved throughout the conference. Professor John Linnell, CoCo Project Lead, and Katrina Marsden, Work Package Lead for Dissemination and Co-creation, both contributed to key sessions and discussions. Participants explored topics such as improving cross-border habitat connectivity, addressing the impacts of climate change, wildlife intervention teams, and encouraging stakeholder participation.
