Abstract
After 150 years of absence from the Netherlands, the wolf is back in the country. The effects this has had for sheep and livestock farmers, and other people’s feeling of unease, calls for politicians and nature mangers to respond. But the strict protected status of the animal, helped by its mythical aura, makes management hard. This thesis uses a praxiographic method to inquire how the practitioners who are mobilized by this situation do this. The case study is used to explore how more-than-human planning can be developed. Using the conceptual categorization of control, care and conviviality, I research how ambitions, values and hopes materialize among practitioners in the field. I conclude that however ambitions of control are still prevalent, practices of care configure in all sorts of variants in the field. To achieve convivial futures of coexistence, care relations and practices must be made explicit in a more-than-human planning
