The EU Platform aims to engage with similar regional groupings which focus on conflict around large carnivore presence in different areas in the EU. The two EU-funded projects on the establishment of regional platforms on people and large carnivores work together with stakeholders to discuss issues around large carnivore coexistence on the national, regional or local context. Four regional platforms have been established in Italy, Romania, Spain and Germany while two further platforms are being established in France and Sweden.

The regional platforms in Harghita, Romania; Grosseto, Italy; Avila, Spain have already reached a stage where they have discussed the first actions they wish to finance through the project and in some cases are already carrying them out. In Lüneburg Heath, Germany four meetings were held until spring this year. The meetings were put on hold during the health crisis but a fifth meeting was held in June. The fact finding for the platform in Vercors, France has been completed but the platform will now not meet for the first time until the Autumn. In Sweden, the focus of the platform is being discussed with the national government.
