Wildlife in Conflict
With increasing
human population pressure over natural resources worldwide it is inevitable
that the interests of wildlife and rural people come into conflict,
and resolving such conflicts is at the core of modern conservation practices.
Our projects on
lions in Botswana, cheetah in Namibia and tigers in India all seek to
mitigate the conflict between big cats and local farmers. In Ethiopia
and Zimbabwe our projects on Ethiopian wolves and African wild dogs
seek to reconcile these predators with villagers.
