Large Carnivore Initiative for Europe

LCIE works in an advisory role both on the European and national level.

LCIE has the crucial consultative role for the European Commission's Large Carnivores Unit and for the Standing Committee of the Bern Convention. The LCIE prepares the documents relevant for the EU as a basis for the national management plans for the large carnivores Eurasian wolf, Italian wolf, lynx, brown bear and wolverine in Europe.^{[7][8][9][10]} In addition, many of its members are involved in activities to reintroduce and protect these predator species, they perform key tasks in monitoring populations of lynx, brown bear and wolverine and in wolf monitoring, and they write or co-author publications.^{[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]}

The LCIE works together with the organisation Rewilding Europe.^[22]
