The seventh annual meeting of the EU Platform on Coexistence between People and Large Carnivores took place on 9 June 2020 exceptionally online. The minutes and presentations can be found on the Platform website.

During the morning, a range of policy initiatives, relevant to the work of the platform were discussed. This included the new EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2030 and the changes to the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). The Platform’s work plan was updated including a discussion of the next events (face-to-face and online) and the work of the regional and local platforms (see below). In the afternoon, the discussion focused specifically on tourism and the synergies and conflicts that arise in connection with tourism activities related to large carnivores and other land uses in a specific region. The Platform agreed to look into the topic further through the collection of further best practice and potentially organising a workshop in the first half of 2021.
