There is much discussion throughout the U.S. national security and
foreign policy communities about the complexities and challenges of
the Indo-Asia-Pacific as our Nation increases its strategic focus
on this important region. In fact, there is already an abundance of
think-tank generated forecasts and strategic net assessments
focusing on China's military modernization, its competitive
territorial and power pursuits, and the strategies and technologies
that will be necessary to counter its growing
anti-access/area-denial (A2/AD) capabilities. While China is the
prominent player in the region, it is only one piece of a highly
complex and dynamic strategic puzzle. There are a myriad of
regional and global dynamics at play. These formidable
forces-piracy, human trafficking, terrorism, natural disasters,
territorial disputes, and a growing dissatisfaction with the
current world order, among others-present distinct and often
overlapping challenges to regional and global security and
stability.

British paranormal horror written and directed by Edward Boase. In
an attempt to win a one million dollar prize for the best
paranormal footage, flatmates Jemma (Jemma Dallender), Matt (Joshua
Dickinson) and Steve (Nate Fallows) purchase a supposedly haunted
mirror online which they hope will hold the key to the jackpot.
However, they find themselves unprepared for the apparently
unstoppable forces that they unleash within their home. Is the
million dollar prize worth the price they're forced to pay?
Human-wildlife conflict (HWC) has classically been defined as a
situation where wildlife impacts humans negatively (physically,
economically, or psychologically), and where humans likewise
negatively impact wildlife. However, there is growing consensus
that the conflict between people about wildlife is as important as
the conflict between people and wildlife. HWC not only affects the
conservation of one species in a particular geographic area, but
also impacts the willingness of an individual, a community, and
wider society to support conservation programs in general. This
book explores the complexity inherent in these situations, covering
the theory, principles, and practical applications of HWC work,
making it accessible and usable for conservation practitioners, as
well as of interest to researchers more concerned with a
theoretical approach to the subject. Through a series of case
studies, the book's authors and editors tackle a wide variety of
subjects relating to conflict, from the challenges of wicked
problems and common pool resources, to the roles that storytelling
and religion can play in conflict. Throughout the book, the authors
work with a Conservation Conflict Transformation (CCT) approach,
adapted from the peacebuilding field to address the reality of
conservation today. The authors utilise one of CCT's key analytic
components, the Levels of Conflict model, as a tool to provide
insight into their case studies. Although the examples discussed
are from the world of marine conservation, the lessons they provide
are applicable to a wide variety of global conservation issues,
including those in the terrestrial realm. Human-Wildlife Conflict
will be essential reading for graduate students and established
researchers in the field of marine conservation biology. It will
also be a valuable reference for a global audience of conservation
practitioners, wildlife managers, and other conservation
professionals.
