Abstract

Large mammal populations are rapidly recovering across Europe, yet people have not readapted to living with wild animals, resulting in human-wildlife conflict. We believe that society should unite to make the most of the instances of nature recovery, and propose science and education as the key to success.

Keywords: conservation optimism; human–wildlife conflict; large carnivores; nature recovery; rewilding; ungulates.
