Overview

Questionnaire analysis reveals societal conflicts and environmental costs linked to livestock-guarding dogs, suggesting urgent strategies for sustainable coexistence.

Key Points

  • Herders report 61% minor societal conflicts linked to livestock-guarding dogs.
  • Each LGD contributes approximately 7% of farm carbon emissions, costing €364 annually.
  • The number of LGDs correlates with herd size, causing an estimated 0.71 wildlife fatalities per year.
  • Findings emphasize the need for coexistence strategies to balance wolf conservation and pastoralism sustainability.
