Carnivores’ contributions to people in Europe

Abstract

Las relaciones entre humanos y carnívoros en Europa han variado a lo largo de la historia. Debido a los recientes esfuerzos de conservación y la reintroducción pasiva de especies silvestres, las poblaciones de carnívoros se están recuperando, lo que se traduce en más interacciones con los humanos. Por lo tanto, desentrañar estas interacciones, así como las múltiples contribuciones que los carnívoros brindan a las personas, es crucial para su conservación. Examinamos la literatura realizada en Europa desde el año 2000 y utilizamos el marco de las contribuciones de la naturaleza a las personas (NCP) para identificar los factores que han dado forma a las relaciones entre humanos y carnívoros. Para ello, examinamos el estado del conocimiento científico y las relaciones entre los tipos de NCP de carnívoros, países y especies de carnívoros; y entre NCP, actores y acciones de gestión. Los resultados indicaron que la investigación se ha orientado hacia las grandes especies de carnívoros y sus contribuciones perjudiciales para las personas. Además, la eficacia de las estrategias de gestión de carnívoros solo se ha evaluado y monitoreado en un conjunto limitado de todas las investigaciones. Para equilibrar cualquier visión negativa sobre los carnívoros, sugerimos que el reconocimiento de la dualidad de los carnívoros, como proveedores de contribuciones tanto beneficiosas como perjudiciales, debería incluirse en las políticas de conservación de la UE

Human-carnivore relations in Europe have varied throughout history. Because of recent conservation efforts and passive rewilding, carnivore populations are recovering, which translates into more interactions with humans. Thus, unraveling these interactions as well as the multiple contributions carnivores provide to people is crucial to their conservation. We examined the literature conducted in Europe since 2000 and used the nature’s contributions to people (NCP) framework to identify factors that have shaped human-carnivore relations. To do so, we examined the state of scientific knowledge and relationships among types of NCP from carnivores, countries, and carnivore species; and between NCP, actors, and management actions. Results indicated that research has been oriented toward large carnivore species and their detrimental contributions to people. Further, the effectiveness of carnivore management strategies has only been evaluated and monitored in a limited set of all the research. To balance any negative views on carnivores, we suggest that the recognition of the duality of carnivores, as providers of both beneficial and detrimental contributions, should be included in EU conservation policies.
