内容简介
Conflict between people and wildlife is a major emerging conservation issue that is difficult to resolve. A wide array of wildlife species, from elephants to predatory birds, threaten human lives and livelihoods and are killed by people for this reason. Some of these species are common pests; unfortunately, others are threatened with extinction. This book discusses whether, and how, coexistence of people and endangered wildlife may be encouraged, using measures such as novel and traditional farming methods, compensation, sustainable hunting and ecotourism.
