Call for Projects: Human - Wildlife Initiative in France

Natural spaces host numerous economic and leisure activities, which can interact with wildlife. Good cohabitation requires harmonious sharing of territory and resources, so that biodiversity can flourish while allowing the smooth running of human activities present. The problem of coexistence arises in particular in the South - PACA region which, due to its geographical and climatic specificities, presents a great diversity of environments and species.

This richness of fauna in a territory with numerous human activities implies various interactions.

In 2020, the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, the National Nature Protection Council, the Chamber of Agriculture of the Alpes-Maritimes, the Federation of Hunters of the Alpes-Maritimes and the League for the Protection of Birds Provence Alpes Côte d 'azur want to act and have created the Man – Wildlife Initiative.

This Initiative focuses on several species of wildlife present in rural or mountain areas: wolves, deer, wild boars, chamois, mouflons, ibexes, foxes, mustelids, bats, rodents, avifauna. Its aim is to bring out innovative and concrete proposals in favor of improving relations between wildlife and human activities: agriculture, tourism, hunting, nature sports, forest management.

For example :

Adaptation of agricultural practices in cohabitation with wildlife

Actions relating to the compatibility of nature sports and wildlife

Development of communication tools in favor of agrotourism promoting wildlife

Study and monitoring of wildlife populations

School and/or general public events, meetings with stakeholders from the rural world

The selected projects, which can start from the second quarter of 2024, must concern:

Field

actions aimed at preventing or mitigating conflicts between wildlife and human activities;

Actions to improve knowledge of species sharing territory with humans

Actions to raise awareness among the general public and schools on the issues of cohabitation with wildlife;
