EAZA Carnivore Campaign
Carnivores are beautiful, charismatic animals, however beauty and charisma alone are not enough to ensure their survival and carnivores worldwide are threatened by challenges of our making. Carnivores, in general, face two contrasting groups of problems; one arising from an increase in their numbers and the other from a decline. The theme of the Carnivore Campaign, "Living Together", addresses both of these. On the one hand it means acting to facilitate the survival of threatened and endangered carnivores and, on the other, learning to live with those which are increasing in number, encroaching our territory and generating the resumption of some age-old conflicts with human interests. If carnivores are to survive in Europe for future generations to enjoy, we need strategies to integrate their presence into modern life in a crowded world. |
