Many of the encounters between farming and wildlife, especially vertebrates, involve some level of conflict which can cause disadvantage to both the wildlife and the people involved. Through a series of WildCRU case-studies, this volume investigates the sources of the problems, and ultimately of the threats to conservation, discussing a variety of remedies and mitigations, and demonstrating the benefits of evidence-based, inter-disciplinary policy.
This volume investigates the complex intersection of agricultural practices and wildlife conservation, specifically focusing on the conflicts that arise between vertebrate populations and farming operations. The author, drawing on research from the Wildlife Conservation Research Unit (WildCRU), examines the underlying causes of these conflicts and evaluates the efficacy of various mitigation strategies. By advocating for evidence-based, inter-disciplinary policy, the text argues that sustainable solutions require a balanced approach that addresses the needs of both the ecosystem and the human stakeholders involved.
