Special excursion for large carnivores
Overview
Intro
Wolf, lynx and bear are back. On this excursion we will learn about their way of life and discuss their role and challenges for forestry, agriculture, hunting and nature conservation.
The wolf, lynx and bear have returned to the Alps and regularly migrate through the Swiss National Park. As a natural part of our ecosystems, these large predators are of central importance. As they are also increasingly shaping our cultural landscape, their presence leads to different perspectives and raises questions.
On this full-day excursion in the Buffalora area, we will explore the multifaceted topic of large carnivores. We will learn fascinating facts about the lifestyle, behavior and ecology of wolves, bears and lynx. We also look at their importance from different perspectives: from the point of view of forestry, agriculture, hunting, nature conservation and the national park. What challenges arise in everyday life? What experiences have been made in practice - including in the area surrounding the national park? Together we will discuss the background, current developments and possible ways of dealing with the large carnivores.
