Description

The aim of this project is to engage with relevant stakeholders in order to develop a set of best practice guidelines which comply with legal requirements and optimise the health and welfare of rewilded livestock without risk to sympatric animals (wildlife and livestock) and humans. Stakeholder engagement and participation in the evidence gathering and policy development process is a central aspect of the project and will ensure that the guidelines developed are perceived by stakeholders to be inclusive, transparent and evidence-led. In addition, this should lead to greater understanding of wildlife disease risks and mitigation, and of Natural England's licensing process, whilst building positive perceptions and supportive collaboration of such initiatives.
