Abstract

Direct stakeholder involvement is vitally important to the positive outcome of implementing conservation projects . A social survey started in 2019 directed  to understand the key actors concerns towards wolf and coexistence. An anthropological approach has been followed. The conclusions of this action will be used to map areas where negative attitudes can create a barrier that compromises population dynamics and wolf pack conservation.
