The European populations of brown bear, Eurasian lynx, wolf and wolverine have increased in the last two decades. The only European large carnivore (LC) that has not seen an increase in its range is the Iberian lynx, which is the most endangered cat in the world. The reason for this general trend is to be found in a series of factors that span from a shift in land use patterns to a series of national and international legislations that regulate the management of habitats and species. Despite all these, the relationship between humans and LCs is not yet secured, and it is currently the main cause for controversial management approaches. A range of management schemes are in force in Europe for mitigating the conflicts between humans and LCs. They are applied under different levels of local participation and responsibility, and all of them are suited to local conditions. Nevertheless, LCs can cover large areas and long distances, often forming populations spread over more than one country. Thus the need for applying a regional view when acting at local scale is strong: the way ahead appears to be that local actions should be taken with a view at population level.
