Implementation details

This question is in relation with Question 11. The analysis of synergies of the objectives (and human-wildlife interaction) between ecological and socio-economical components can lead us to identify a series of targets where ecological protection needs is contrary to socio-economical goals and human practices and so can lead to uses conflicts. The risk assessment (CAMBRA et al., 2024) will produce some maps that will support the process of identifying the areas concentrating the stakes and, probably, the conflicts. The nature of the conflicts needs then to be assessed more in depth and be included in the Trade-off assessment (cf. ESE 3). Conflicts need to be included in the feasability step prior of any implementation of rules or restrictions and risk can be spread using the Equity criteria.
