This congress focuses on the problem of living together between recreational and sporting practices and wild animals in different territories (mountain, rural, coastal). It is part of an inter and transdisciplinary project (HUMANI) at the  rossroads of sociology, geography, ecology and nature management, financed by the ANR and which aims to jointly study the practitioners of recreational activities (their practices and behaviors, their perceptions and representations) and the consequences of human presence on wildlife. This call aims to attract papers from various disciplines from humanities and social sciences to environmental sciences and management interested in this issue of cohabitation in natural areas.
