Deeply Political and Populist Decisions on Large Carnivores in Europe in Recent Times
Original language description
In recent years, debates around downgrading the protection of large carnivores, such as wolves (Canis lupus) or bears (Ursus arctos), have become deeply political, especially in areas where these species are recovering in mainland Europe and North America. Various viewpoints on lethal control, either by target or non-target removals or through culling by authorities or public hunting schemes, have particularly exacerbated the polarization around large carnivore conservation and are often riddled with biased arguments. Livestock depredation is one of the main opposing factors against sharing the landscape with large carnivores. Despite inconclusive results of the effectiveness of current practices of lethal control to prevent livestock depredations, killing large carnivores is still often perceived as an effective strategy to reduce the impact of these species on livestock. Lethal control is increasingly proposed as a solution by populist, center-right politicians, as seen recently across Europe.
