Ten best practice examples that focus on improving stakeholder relations were selected from the cases collected to date. These were chosen to cover a range of biogeographic and political situations as well as all large carnivore species and stakeholder groups. The sub-set of case studies was analysed in more detail through interviews carried out with representative stakeholders. The aim was to identify what makes the case study an example of good practice and if the experience has the potential to be used elsewhere to reduce conflict related to coexistence.

The examination of each individual case study is presented below.

A Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) analysis (pdf) was also used to compare the findings across all cases. The aim of the SWOT analysis was to identify common themes for each stakeholder group involved in the case studies. The analysis describes the in-group and inter-group aspects that promote or hinder coexistence as identified by each stakeholder group during the interviews.
