    Human-wildlife conflict in Africa - Causes, consequences and management strategies 2009
    Also available in:

    Conflicts between humans and wildlife have occurred since the dawn of humanity. In Africa, these conflicts have become more frequent and severe over recent decades as a result of human population growth, extension of transport routes and expansion of agricultural and industrial activities which together have led to increased human encroachment on previously wild and uninhabited areas. This publication was compiled to facilitate the coexistence of humans and wildlife and assist affected communiti es in applying best management practices. With a focus on large herbivores and carnivores such as elephants, lions, baboons and crocodiles, the book presents the issues, describes different methods of conflict management and outlines a three-step framework for decision-making. Three dozen text boxes support the concepts through concrete examples. The publication was developed through a writing workshop organized by FAO and the International Foundation for the Conservation of Wildlife ( Fondation IGF) in January 2008. It will be of interest to villagers, farmers, wildlife practitioners, development workers and researchers, to local, regional and national authorities, and ultimately to anybody keen to learn more about the issue.
