HUMAN-WILDLIFE CONFLICT
Human-wildlife conflict is when encounters between humans and wildlife lead to negative outcomes, such as loss of property, livelihoods, and even animal or human life. As human populations and demand for space grow, people and wildlife are competing for resources, thus leading for conflict.
This conflict can result in the eradication of species, as well as financial losses, and threats to health and safety, livelihoods, food security and property for humans. The problem affects both humans and animals alike.
​
Sadly, human-wildlife conflict often results in humans culling the animals that are causing issues in their lives, such as destroying vegetation on farmland.
Animal culling however is not only a cruel practice, but is rarely effective. Choosing compassionate conservation methods such as using noise deterrents, reducing available food, and using fences to prevent animals from entering certain areas is not only kinder, but also in many cases it’s more effective.
Verify Humanity is researching human-wildlife conflict. Through our work, we are identifying wildlife issues and, using compassionate conservation techniques, we are finding kind solutions.
