KORA – Carnivore Ecology and Wildlife Management is an in-state foundation based in Ittigen. The return of the large carnivores to our country is the last phase of the rescue of our native wildlife, whose populations reached a historical low point in the 19th century due to uncontrolled overexploitation and habitat destruction. However, lynx, wolves and bears are not returning to a wilderness, but into a landscape heavily dominated by human use, with many different needs by various users. The wildcat recolonises suitable habitat in this landscape, too. The golden jackal is also expanding in Central Europe and was recorded in 2011 for the first time in Switzerland. KORA studies the life history of these five carnivores and monitors the development of their populations. KORA provides information to the authorities and the general public and offers an advisory function. KORA observes the effects of the large carnivores on our cultural landscape and acquires the basis for a conflict free coexistence of large carnivores with humans.

About KORA
KORA is a state foundation known as KORA, specializing in predator ecology and wildlife management. Based in Ittigen, Switzerland, KORA plays a crucial role in monitoring the development of various species such as lynx, wolf, bear, golden jackal, and wildcat. As an advisory body, KORA provides valuable information to authorities and the public.
The organization conducts extensive research on the behavior and habitat of these five predators and closely monitors their populations. KORA's mission is to ensure the successful return of these magnificent predators to the Swiss landscape, which faced a significant decline in wildlife populations due to unregulated exploitation in the 19th century. Today, the lynx, wolf, bear, wildcat, and even the golden jackal are slowly reclaiming suitable habitats in an increasingly human-dominated environment.
KORA strives to promote peaceful coexistence between large carnivores and humans by studying the impact of these predators on cultural landscapes and formulating strategies for conflict resolution. Stay informed about the latest developments in predator ecology by visiting KORA's website and taking advantage of the wealth of resources and reports available. By supporting KORA, you contribute to the protection and preservation of Switzerland's wildlife.
