    In Block III, between 1:30 p.m. and 4:15 p.m., the tensions of alpine farming are systematically dealt with. We show the results of the new GAP as well as brand new results on the large-scale use of GPS collars. The focus then turns to the challenges of alpine farming (results from the Tyrol herd protection project, tourism in hot spots, climate change) and examines the changes for wildlife and people. A panel discussion concludes the block.

    The conference can be attended on site or digitally. The registration deadline is November 10, 2022.
