The animal species concerned are: wolves, deer, wild boar, chamois, mouflons, ibex, foxes, mustelids, chiroptera, rodents and birds.

The projects selected, which may begin in the second quarter of 2024, must involve :

Actions on the ground aimed at preventing or mitigating conflicts between wildlife and human activities;
Actions to improve knowledge of species sharing territory with humans;
Actions to raise awareness among the general public and schoolchildren of the issues involved in cohabiting with wildlife;
Actions to promote agricultural production and cultural, sporting or ecotourism activities linked to wildlife.

Project sponsors will be promoted through the communication activities of the Foundation and its partners.
