The rapidly progressing climate change endangers important forest services, as forests cannot adapt quickly enough to the changing conditions. In order to ensure that forest services can also be provided in the future, the most species-rich regeneration possible with sustainable tree species is central, since it makes forests more resilient to disturbances. The very high browsing of forest regeneration by wild ungulates in many regions of Switzerland for decades represents a major challenge in this respect. Various examples show that sufficient forest regeneration is only possible if, in addition to silvicultural measures, a targeted, regionally differentiated reduction of the current game population takes place. This in turn requires constructive cooperation between hunting and forestry based on common goals, as well as a socio-political framework that promotes and values this cooperation in the sense of the national legal mandate and the fulfilment of the future tasks of the forest.
