[Excerpt] [] [...] This catalogue accompanies an exhibition of the same name that has been developed by the Large Carnivore Initiative for Europe (LCIE) which is a working group of the IUCN's Species Survival Commission. The exhibition was funded by the European Commission's DG Environment as part of a project entitled '' Natura 2000 preparatory actions. Awareness raising campaign on large carnivores''. [] The objective of the exhibition is to provide some though provoking perspectives on large carnivore conservation in Europe. These perspectives stem from our combined experience as researchers, conservationists and wildlife managers. The views are therefore those of the LCIE. The basic message that we are trying to communicate is that large carnivores represent a uniquely challenging group of species to conserve in a crowded continent like Europe. However, if people are willing to make the effort to slightly adjust their life styles and mindsets it is possible to achieve a form of coexistence. [] The catalogue opens with a short illustrated summary of the main messages followed by copies of the images and the main texts from the posters that were displayed. The posters present the species and some of the main regions where carnivores occur before exploring a wide set of issues relevant to their conservation. The content has been reformatted, and in some cases expanded, but remains true to the exhibition. [] [...] The exhibition was developed under the banner of the Large Carnivore Initiative for Europe, with the especial assistance of the Instituto Ecologia Applicata (IEA), Italy, Coordinated Research Projects for the Conservation and Management of Carnivores in Switzerland (KORA), Swizterland and the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (NINA), Norway.
