Human-wildlife conflict is a conservation challenge facing scientists and policy-makers worldwide with an increasing demand for holistic resolution strategies. Conflict with wild animals has the potential to negatively affect the livelihood and well-being of communities and revengeful killing of the animals to safeguard personal interests. This is a worrying development, especially for threatened wild species if deemed as 'conflict species, as it can greatly hinder their protection and conservation especially in developing countries.

Abstract


Human-wildlife conflict is a conservation challenge facing scientists and policy-makers worldwide with an increasing demand for holistic resolution strategies. Conflict with wild animals has the potential to negatively affect the livelihood and well-being of communities and revengeful killing of the animals to safeguard personal interests. This is a worrying development, especially for threatened wild species if deemed as 'conflict species, as it can greatly hinder their protection and conservation especially in developing countries.
