The Dinaric region in the Western Balkans is home to the three large carnivores bear, wolf and lynx. Given the extensive ranges of these species, transnational co-ordination for their management is desirable to enable a long-term basis for their conservation. The main goal of this project was to establish with representatives of the countries of the Dinaric region an international platform for the management of large carnivores. As a basis serves the background report Large Carnivores in the Dinarides: Management, Monitoring, Threats and Conflicts. It is available in 6 languages.
