Projects are being piloted and tested with governments, national partners and communities in 16 participating countries. The initiative is coordinated by a dynamic consortium of four partners, namely the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the Center for International Forestry Research and World Agroforestry (CIFOR-ICRAF), the French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development (CIRAD) and the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS). -

Also available in:
No results found.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. This report provides an insight into the HWC issue, based on a selection of relevant case stu dies 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, scienti fic 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.
