Co-creating coexistence: Integrating wildlife and livestock into sustainable landscapes in Europe

The CoCo Horizon project brings together different kinds of knowledge—from science, traditional practices, and personal experiences—to help people and wildlife thrive side by side. By tapping into the best knowledge available, we can drastically reduce wildlife-related issues, calm tensions, and find a balance that benefits both people and nature.

The diverse European team, including a range of scientific partners and stakeholders, will use this collective expertise as a basis for developing policy recommendations and tools for practitioners. These will support sustainable coexistence in shared multi-functional landscapes.

The main activities, used to produce the project results are: 

1. Bringing together and combining knowledge from various scientific fields and practical experiences.
2. Collecting and analysing new data in areas where knowledge is lacking.
3. Creating new ways for scientists and stakeholders to work together.
4. Encouraging understanding, trust, and cooperation among the different interest groups involved in agriculture, wildlife management, and biodiversity conservation.

adelphi research is reponsible for a work package dealing with co-creation, dissemination, exploitation and communication. This involves working together with different networks and communicating the project messages.
