Social-ecological systemic assessments of human-wildlife conflicts

This book is intended to be a first version on the series of social-ecological systemic assessments in human-wildlife conflicts. It acknowledges the information gap in the sphere of human-wildlife conflicts, particularly in developing countries. Therefore, a wide array of users are invited, not limited to college and university students, researchers, practitioners, conservationists and local communities wishing to interact with uniform assessments at local and landscape levels. Such assessments also have potential to assist as a decision support tool to reduce or even eradicate human-wildlife conflicts especially in protected areas. This book recognizes the far-reaching consequences of human-wildlife conflicts to human development and wildlife conservation.
