Carnivores provide innumerable ecological benefits and play a
unique role in preserving and maintaining ecosystem services and
function, but at the same time they can create serious problems for
human populations. A key question for conservation biologists and
wildlife managers is how to manage the world's carnivore
populations to conserve this important natural resource while
mitigating harmful impacts on humans.
In People and Predators, leading scientists and researchers
offer case studies of human-carnivore conflicts in a variety of
landscapes, including rural, urban, and political. The book covers
a diverse range of taxa, geographic regions, and conflict
scenarios, with each chapter dealing with a specific facet of
human-carnivore interactions and offering practical, concrete
approaches to resolving the conflict under consideration. Chapters
provide background on particular problems and describe how
challenges have been met or what research or tools are still needed
to resolve the conflicts.
People and Predators will helps readers to better understand
issues of carnivore conservation in the 21st century, and provides
practical tools for resolving many of the problems that stand
between us and a future in which carnivores fulfill their historic
ecological roles.
