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.

Experts recognize this text as a valuable resource for understanding the practical challenges of wildlife management in human-dominated landscapes. Readers frequently note the academic rigor of the case studies and the utility of the proposed policy frameworks for practitioners in the field.
