保护大型食肉动物的野生种群与当地人类利益保持平衡的重要性已得到全世界的认可。然而，各种人类活动与大型食肉动物物种的保护存在潜在冲突。我们讨论的作用，猎人在管理的三个大型食肉动物物种，棕熊熊arctos，欧亚猞猁猞猁和狼在喀尔巴阡山脉在中欧。我们考虑了四个不同的国家（即波兰，斯洛伐克，乌克兰和罗马尼亚），比较大型食肉动物种群的地位和狩猎活动的规定。这种情况似乎在整个喀尔巴阡山脉地区是普遍一致的，尽管对狼的保护程度大不相同。大型食肉动物和猎人之间的互动深深植根于所考虑的四个国家当地社区的文化中。大面积的森林使喀尔巴阡山脉成为大型食肉动物的绝佳环境，这里的人口密度低。我们强调，今后的管理做法需要结合狩猎活动和科学知识。
The importance of conserving wild populations of large carnivores in balance with local human interests has been recognised throughout the world. However, diverse human activities are in potential conflict with the conservation of large carnivore species. We discuss the role that hunters have in the management of three large carnivore species, the brown bear Ursus arctos, the Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx and the wolf Canis lupus in the Carpathian Mountains in central Europe. We considered four different countries (i.e. Poland, Slovakia, Ukraine and Romania), comparing the status of large carnivore populations and the regulations of hunting activities. The situation appears to be generally consistent throughout the Carpathian region, although the degree of protection accorded to wolf varies most. Interactions between large carnivores and hunters are well rooted in the culture of local communities in the four countries considered. The large forested areas make the Carpathians an excellent environment for large carnivores, which here are favoured by low human population density. We underline the need for integration of hunting activities and scientific knowledge for future management practices.
