| Un bilan des rintroductions de carnivores en Europe | |
| 2002 Conference Proceeding | |
Problems encountered with carnivore reintroductions are characterized by the fact that these reintroductions cause great controversies because the last eradication of these predators often results from conflict with men. Because of their low density, these species require a vast territory to develop a viable population. For most of the carnivore reintroduction programs considered today as successful, it is difficult to evaluate the viability of the populations, since a limited quantity of data is available and we are still too close for a proper view. In the case of large carnivores, the conflicts with men (predation and competition with hunters) seem to be the most serious obstacle for a successful reintroduction, whereas for small carnivores, demographic factors and habitat quality are more significant. |
