Interview with Laetitia Blanc (CEFE UMR 5175, CNRS - Université de Montpellier) br IENE 2016 conference (Lyon,France) br br Habitat destruction and fragmentation are important threats to large carnivores as they are wide-ranging species and live in human-dominated landscapes. The road network is getting denser and acts as a barrier for these species as well as it increases the risk of collisions with vehicles. The creation of corridors is often advocated in these situations as a way to restore connectivity. Because of increasing conflicts with humans, large carnivores are also particularly vulnerable to poaching resulting in small and isolated populations. Reintroductions are often used as a reinforcement strategy in such situations.
