Tech-Driven Agriculture: Securing Livestock and Coexisting with Large Carnivores
Tuesday, 17th February 2026, 10:00 am - 12:15 pm (CET)
This interactive webinar explored how emerging technologies can help livestock farmers protect their animals while supporting the conservation of large carnivores like bears. Co-organised by Callisto, EUFRAS, the webinar drew on the experience of the CoCo project and brought together practitioners, advisors, researchers and stakeholders to jointly evaluate emerging coexistence technologies. Participants explored tools and approaches for addressing conflicts between humans and large carnivores through knowledge sharing and participatory discussion.
Speaking to Farmers and Shepherds about Livestock Depredation
Tuesday, 9th December 2025, 15:00 - 17:00 CET
The CoCo project hosted a webinar in collaboration with the European Federation of Animal Science (EAAP), a key CoCo partner.
Chaired by John Linnell, CoCo project lead, the webinar explored insights from extensive fieldwork with over 1,000 livestock breeders and shepherds across Europe. The event featured presentations on real-world experiences of coexistence with large carnivores, including wolves in Asturias, Spain, and bears in Prespa National Park, Greece, shared by CoCo partners Agrifood Research and Technology Center of Aragon (CITA) and Callisto NGO. Daniel Martín Collado, coordinator of the CoCo project in Spain, shared findings from this ambitious six-month research initiative and discussed how the data will inform future coexistence strategies.
