Science-managementgap• Lab work <−> On site actions: designers missing
• Researchers not present where decisions taken
• Researchers/practitioners: evaluation criteria differ • Researchers/practitioners: changing habits costly
Objec@ves
- Case studies of beneficial collaborations
- Identify causes of success
- Perspectives for ONCFS-CNRS
- Disclaimer: a testimony, nothing more
• Typical example of human-wildlife conflict
• Network of observers all over the country
• Map its range, and assess its dynamics

• Re-construct a posteriori sampling effort
• Use space-time information on the observers

• Dealing with species detectability < 1
• Build maps of occupancy (area occupied)

• Typical example of human-wildlife conflict
• How to account for the human dimension?
• Map attitudes, assess spatial heterogeneity

What’sinitforCNRS?
• Real world interdisciplinary questions
• Methodological challenges • Long-term monitoring
• Large carnivores expertise
What’sinitforstudents?
• Applied questions with a feeling of being somehow useful
• Academic skills • Research in population ecology in a
sensitive context
Provoked howls
What’sinitformanagement?
• Wolf/Bear National Action Plans
• Favorable conservation status
• Damage compensation, non-lethal control
• Wolf: Lethal control • Bear: Social acceptability
What’sinitforONCFS?
• Extract biological info. from monitoring
• External expertise in statistical ecology and social sciences
• Inform decision-making

Whydoesitwork?Remindourpreviousdia:«Science-managementgap
• Lab work <−> On site actions: designers missing • Researchers not present where decisions taken Links between
field work <-> research <-> development <-> decisions • Researchers/practitioners: evaluation criteria differ Mutual benefits, even for diverse goals • Researchers/practitioners: changing habits costly
Public institutes, experimentation sites
Whydoesitwork?Evenmorereasons!• Good students • Trust, trust and trust / Time
• Common backgrounds
• International partnerships: possible exchanges of researchers, practitioners, students, datasets…
• Other successful partnerships between ONCFS and CNRS/Universities (LBBE, LECA) and other research institutes (INRA, IRSTEA)
Whatdoesn’tworkandwhy?
Whatdoesn’tworkandwhy?
ü Different time scales: fast / slow ü For extrem. threatened biodiv., science is too late
• Disciplines to be mobilized are very few • Required management actions already known
ü For conflict situations, science as a way-out
