The Dinaric-Balkan-Pindos Large Carnivore Initiative
Regional collaboration and exchange on wildlife management
In the Dinaric-Balkan-Pindos biodiversity hotspot, protected species and habitats thrive. Brown bear (Ursus arctos), wolf (Canis lupus) and Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx), including the endangered subspecies Balkan lynx (Lynx lynx balcanicus) cross national and regional borders. Transnational coordination for their management is essential to enable a long-term basis for their conservation.
