Development of wildlife management strategies when large predators are present - problem solving for forestry companies
Abstract
The heart of the project is the development of strategies for new adapted wildlife management options at the presence of large carnivores. In an innovative approach, the economic impact of large carnivores is addressed for the first time: Biological, sylvicultural, economic and political components of the problem are integrated into custom scenarios. On the basis of the results, the ÖBf AG can consequently develop – in collaboration with the academic partners – implementation strategies that are specifically adapted to the hunting and forestry objectives and structures of each individual unit. By discussing the problem and by developing scenarios that also comment on current legal and political framework conditions the coexistence with large predators on the whole will be improved. In the long term, other hunting and forestry companies in Austria can implement adapted action strategies on the basis of the developed scenarios, or they can be given advice to do so.
