[Project completed] Sustainable development is not simply limited to nature protection. As a guiding idea that touches virtually all areas of life, sustainability should be discussed at every lunch, every workshop, schoolroom or parliament. Through the project alpMonitor, CIPRA International, together with the national CIPRA branches, strongly focuses on the responsibilities modern societies have in the shift towards sustainable development. The actual objective is «the good life» in the Alps. CIPRA’s approach is based upon the values of participation, solidarity and frugality. Read More…

Knowledge transfer on the co-adaptation of humans and wolves in the Alpine region

CIPRA International | CIPRA Deutschland | CIPRA Italia | CIPRA France

[Project completed] The return of large carnivores is increasingly causing the fronts to harden between different groups of stakeholders.

Wolves are synanthropic animals and cross boundaries - physical as well as intangible ones – regularly. Thus, they have been accompanying and influencing social and cultural processes since time immemorial. In this project, CIPRA has taken on the task to collect, analyse, make available and disseminate knowledge about the co-adaptation of humans and wolves throughout the Alps. Read More…

This is putting Europe’s unique biodiversity in the Alps at risk. Read More…
