Human-Wildlife Interactions Turning Conflict into Coexistence

About this book

Human-wildlife conflict (HWC) is one of the most complex and urgent issues facing wildlife management and conservation today. Originally focused on the ecology and economics of wildlife damage, the study and mitigation of HWC has gradually expanded its scope to incorporate the human dimensions of the whole spectrum of human-wildlife relationships, from conflict to coexistence. Having the conflict-to-coexistence continuum as its leitmotiv, Human-Wildlife Interactions explores a variety of theories and methods currently used to address human-wildlife interactions, illustrated by case studies from around the world. It presents some key concepts in the field, such as values, emotions, social identity and tolerance, and a variety of insights and solutions to turn conflict into coexistence, from individual level to national scales, including conservation marketing, incremental and radical innovation, strategic planning, and socio-ecological systems. Human-Wildlife Interactions will be of interest to a wide range of readers, including academics, researchers, students, practitioners and policy-makers.

Biography

Beatrice Frank is Assistant Professor at the University of Victoria, and the social science specialist for Capital Regional District Regional Parks, Canada. Her research and work focuses on the human dimension of wildlife management, with an emphasis on overabundant species, such as wild boars and coyotes. In the last 10 years, she has focused on better defining tolerance and coexistence and developed the conflict-to-coexistence concept proposed in this book, which she is furthering in her most recent research and publications.

Jenny A. Glikman is Associate Director of Community Engagement at the San Diego Zoo Global, and adjunct professor for the Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Conservation Biology at University of Maine, USA. As a social scientist, her primary role is to develop human dimensions research in community based conservation programmes.

Silvio Marchini is a lecturer at the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil, leading the People and Wildlife Coexistence Project. He has taught human dimensions of wildlife conservation to students and wildlife professionals in Brazil, the UK, Costa Rica, Columbia, and Bolivia, and his current work focuses on ways to upscale the analysis and management of human-wildlife conflict.
