Brown bear (Ursus arctos), wolf (Canis lupus) and Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) still occur in Europe but they are forced to live in highly fragmented and human-dominated areas. Like in other parts of Europe they are perceived as a major threat to domestic livestock in most of the Slovenia region, especially in places where cohabitation is unavoidable and conflicts are daily. Predators can threaten sheep, cattle and other farmed domestic and wild animals. For livestock producers and government, depredation can be frustrating and costly. There were over 1000 attacks by predators and killed more than 3500 domestic and breeding wild animals between 1995 and 2001. The most frequent predator was bear while the most frequent prey was sheep. In this article we would like to present in detail the damage on livestock due to depredation between 1995 and 2001 and other findings concerning large carnivores in Slovenia.
