| Human-Wildlife Conflict worldwide: collection of case studies, analysis of management strategies and good practices | |
| 2005 Full Book | |
Human-Wildlife Conflict (HWC) is fast becoming a serious threat to the survival of many endangered species in the world. The case studies from countries all over the world demonstrate the severity of the conflict and suggest that greater in depth analysis of the conflict is needed in order to avoid overlooking the problem and undermining the conservation of threatened and potentially endangered species. T his report provides an insight into the HWC issue, based on a selection of relevant case studies and gathers together the key lessons learned. This is a comprehensive review covering a wide array of the available literature on wild mammal-human conflict, with the exception of human-elephant, written over the last ten years. It highlights common problems and solutions across bio-geographical regions in order to provide a better understanding of the HWC issue worldwide. It also shows that these conflicts have similar causes and impacts, and that accurate and detailed information, scientific research and stakeholder commitment are key to the development of appropriate and sustainable strategies for both resolving the problem and conserving different ecosystems and their wildlife inhabitants. |
