In June, LIFE WolfAlps EU and LIFE Lynx<\/a> teams from Slovenia Forest Service<\/a> hosted European experts working with large carnivore topics. Representatives from Italy, Spain, England, Austria, Macedonia, Albania, Kosovo, and Iran joined the three-day excursion in Notranjska and Gorenjska regions. The first day started at DINA Centre, where the experts from Slovenia Forest Service gave the participants a comprehensive presentation on large carnivore research, management, and damage prevention, as well as prey species management. We also heard reports from other countries and projects, such as bear management in the Apennines (Rewilding Apennines<\/a>), large carnivores in Austrian Carinthia, the story of the rescue of the Iberian lynx in Spain (Lynx Connect<\/a>), lynx monitoring in Albania and surrounding countries (Balkan Lynx Recovery Programme<\/a>), and the efforts with the reintroduction of lynx in the UK (Lifescape project<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
