Context

Natural areas host many economic and leisure activities, which can interact with wildlife. A good cohabitation requires a harmonious sharing of territory and resources, so that biodiversity can flourish while allowing the smooth running of human activities present. The problem of coexistence arises in particular in France in the South region – Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur (PACA) and in Spain with regard to wolves, which, by its geographical and climatic specificities, presents a great diversity of environments and of species.

This wealth of wildlife in a territory with numerous human activities involves various interactions.
