Project acronym: LECA
Project ID: CE0100170
Project start date: 2023-04-01
Project end date: 2026-03-31

ongoingRelevant linked projects:
- LIFE SWiPE (Successful Wildlife Crime prosecution in Europe) (EN) | LIFE SWiPE contributes to reducing wildlife crime (e.g. poaching, poisoning) in 11 countries in Europe (EU, non-EU) by improving compliance with the EU Environmental Law and increasing the number of successfully prosecuted offences. Establishing relations with law enforcement authorities on national level, data collection on WLC cases and training of professionals will be a good basis for LECA to bring these to a cross-border and transnational level, with a focus on the pilot area level. (EN), LIFE Lynx (LIFE16 NAT/SI/000634) (EN) | LIFE Lynx aims to preserve the Dinaric-SE Alpine lynx population from extinction by reinforcing it with animals from a viable source population from the Carpathians. LECA will build on the established methodology and cooperation among the forestry, hunting, conservation communities, and all stakeholders in LIFE Lynx (and other previous projects: LIFE Luchs, LIFE13) as excellent examples of cooperation and mutual trust, conservation, mgtt & resolving human-carnivore conflicts. (EN), LIFEstockProtect (EN) | LIFEstockProtect is a EU-funded project (LIFE programme, 2020-2025) supporting human-lifestock-wildlife coexistence in the predominantly German-speaking Alpine region. Being also aimed at conflict management in the mountain areas, LECA will seek to establish contacts with the LIFEstockProtect representatives and cross-feed their findings during the planning and the implementation of conflict prevention pilot actions in WP2 and the resulting guidelines in WP1. (EN), LIFE WOLFALPS EU (2013-2018; 2019-2024) (EN) | LIFE WOLFALPS works comprise two projects; one is still ongoing and based on the previous “LIFE Award for Nature” project. LECA’s work would be similar to the one of WOLFALPS where LECA could build synergies by taking up some of the best practices from the Alpine Region and adapt them to the Carpathian conditions during WP2 pilots, Improving wolf-human coexistence through participatory approaches. (EN), Carpathian Convention and Alpine Convention (EN) | The Carpathian Convention (CC) and Alpine Convention (AC) are transnational treaties, covering and representing many environmental topics including large carnivores (CC International Action Plan, AC Declaration of XVI Conference). LECA preparations will be based on CC (Working Group on Biodiversity) and AC consultations about previous results, and project results will feed the agenda of these organisations for transnational implementation, roll-out and transferability. (EN), 3Lynx (2017-2020)
- (EN) | The 3Lynx project (LP MoE CZ) helped to improve the lynx population’s status at a population level by preparing joint strategies and management plans for 3 lynx international populations - the Bohemian-Bavarian-Austrian, Dinaric, and South-East Alpine. LECA will build on experiences with involving policy makers and preparing species protection strategies on the population level. Synergy will also come from the targeted activities – methods of monitoring, reducing poaching, conflict prevention and stakeholder´s participation in different countries and landscapes. (EN)
