For this perspective, scientists from diverse disciplines and geographical backgrounds reflect on the state of livestock–wolf ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Although there have been several initiatives to establish and support participatory processes on large carnivores based on multi‐stakeholder governance at the regional level in Europe, empirical evidence for their evaluation is still lacking. We employed a survey, which was administered to farmers and other stakeholder groups (e.g.
