The survival of isolated small populations is threatened by both demographic and genetic factors.Large carnivores declined for centuries in most of Europe due to habitat changes, overhunting of their natural prey and direct persecution.However, the current rewilding trends are driving many carnivore populations to expand again, possibly reverting t
