Synopsis (short abstract) Human population growth increases the demand for natural resources in many parts of the world. This has led to the degradation and fragmentation of wildlife habitats, with humans and livestock encroaching on natural habitats. Wildlife is increasingly competing with humans for limited natural resources resulting in an increase in human and wildlife conflicts (HWCs). These conflicts also contribute to the increased risk for emerging infectious disease transmission. FAO’s work on HWC is an integral part of the Wildlife and Protected Areas Management Programme, and it aims at contributing to the achievement of the SDG2 on Zero hunger and SDG15 on Life on land. FAO assists Member Countries to prevent and reduce human-wildlife conflicts by approaching it as an interrelated social and technical issue, in order to improve food security, livelihoods, and health of rural populations, and help them sustainably manage their natural resources. This infographic provides a visually easy-to-retain overview of relevant information about HWC in order to engage and inform a large audience about the complex nature of this issue, and its causes, consequences, country examples, and good management principles.

    Afrontar el conflicto entre humanos y la fauna silvestre para mejorar los medios de vida de las personas 2021

    El conflicto entre el ser humano y la fauna silvestre no es un problema reciente. Varias especies de fauna silvestre causan daños importantes a los cultivos y a los sistemas de producción ganadera, con repercusiones para la seguridad alimentaria, la seguridad y el bienestar humanos. Las causas subyacentes son el crecimiento demográfico, el aumento de la demanda de recursos naturales y la presión cada vez mayor por el acceso a la tierra, como la extensión de las rutas de transporte y la expansión de las actividades agrícolas e industriales. El trabajo de la FAO sobre HWC es una parte integral del Programa de manejo de fauna silvestre y áreas protegidas, y tiene como objetivo contribuir al logro del ODS 2 sobre Hambre cero y el ODS 15 sobre Vida en la tierra. Este documento proporciona una descripción general visualmente fácil de retener de información relevante sobre el conflicto entre el ser humano y la fauna silvestre con el fin de involucrar e informar a una gran audiencia sobre la naturaleza compleja de este problema, y sus causas, consecuencias, ejemplos de países y principios de buena gestión.

    Human wildlife conflict (HWC) arises from the competition between growing populations of humans and wildlife for the same declining resources. Such conflict has proved a major issue in northern Zimbabwe. In Hurungwe District in the province of Mashonaland West, common examples of HWC include livestock predation, crop destruction, human attacks and conflict between farmers and protected area management. The resulting damage can impact food security, livelihoods and health. This project aimed to reduce HWC in target areas of Hurungwe by supporting local communities to implement sustainable methods of deterring wildlife and protecting livestock. At the same time, it sought to increase agricultural production and strengthen resilience by managing disease in livestock and promoting alternative livelihood options based on the sustainable, community based management of natural resources .
