Pathways Europe 2024: Human Dimensions of Wildlife Conference & Training Program. Revisiting What Is Wild for Coexisting

Pathways Europe is a part of the Pathways: Human Dimensions of Wildlife Conference and Training. Founded by Michael J. Manfredo and Jerry Vaske (Colorado State University), the program is designed to address the myriad issues that arise as people and wildlife struggle to coexist in a sustainable and healthy manner.

The Institute for Advanced Social Studies (IESA) of Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), the University of Córdoba (UCO) and the Department of Human Dimensions of Natural Resources (HDNR) at Colorado State University conducts this year’s conference theme is 'Revisiting What is Wild for Coexisting'. With this in mind, among other topics, Pathways Europe 2024 will be exploring topics related to native and non-native wildlife, debates around sharing different landscapes for the conservation of wildlife, and how to adapt to forthcoming changes for enhancing coexistence.

In pursuit of Pathways’ mission of increasing the professionalism and effectiveness in the human dimensions of wildlife management field, we continue to address the most pressing issues facing conservation efforts today. We invite your perspectives on this critical topic. Topics to explore:

• Invasive, non-native, alien species.
