Descripción
llegal wildlife poisoning remains widespread across the Balkan Peninsula, posing a severe threat to vultures and other wildlife and driven largely by human–wildlife conflict, cultural tolerance of poison use, and weak law enforcement. This case study documents the BalkanDetox LIFE project (2020–2025), which operates across seven Balkan countries to address the problem by strengthening institutional and law enforcement capacity. The case study highlights key lessons, including the importance of early stakeholder engagement, focusing on shared goals, institutional collaboration, adapting best practices from other contexts, and using train-the-trainer approaches to ensure long-term sustainability.
