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 in the national, regional or local context. Six regional platforms have been established in Italy, Romania, Spain and Germany, France and Sweden.

While there are few meetings taking place for the regional platforms, the work in Sweden and France is advancing slowly. In Sweden a range of interviews have been carried out and a process is being launched to consult firstly national stakeholders and then several different regional Wildlife Management Delegations. This is being coordinated with the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) as part of the update to the national large carnivore management plans. In France, following a first Platform meeting with the Vercors Regional Natural Park, online discussions with administrators and tourism actors were carried out in March and April. A small meeting with livestock managers was organised at the end of May. A full meeting of the platform is expected after the summer.
