Cantonal (regional) Wolf Groups have been established in several Swiss cantons. The main goals are to encourage discussion between stakeholders and improvement of relationships. The core groups organise meetings of all interest groups, excursions to look at measures on the ground and discussions with livestock owners. Stakeholders involved include cantonal authorities, representatives of (cantonal) farmer association, sheep breeder association, goat breeder association, hunting association, game wardens, WWF and Pro Natura, AGRIDEA (national coordinator for prevention measures), livestock guarding dog association and tourism interests. Since the groups are established on the cantonal level, there are differences in emphasis and membership between the different cantons.

For more information see the detailed description of the case study on the Platform website. 

A report describing ten good practice case studies is also available.
