Life WolfAlps EU 2022 Conference: Is the grass always greener elsewhere ? Summary of the proceedings of the 4 th International Conference of the LIFE WolfAlps EU Project, held on the 5th and 6 th December 2022 in Barcelonnette (France): sharing management strategies for wolf-human coexistence in Europe.

A predator of livestock, seen as a competitor by some hunters, poached and legally culled in certain countries but also an animal central to mythology, an emblem of the wild for its supporters, source of tourist income, protected and closely monitored: the wolf has a special place in the European bestiary. After having been exterminated in certain countries, it is returning naturally and extending its territory on the continent, not without generating tensions. Managing this conflictual situation has become a major issue. How do our European neighbours manage cohabitation with the predator? Twelve experts representing seven European countries provided some partial answers.
