摘要: The success of livestock guarding dogs (LGDs) in mitigating farmer–predator conflict relies on the perceptions farmers that use them. Purebred LGDs are provided to Namibian by Cheetah Conservation Fund as a mitigation measure. We examined using 164 these analyzing data collected during face-to-face interviews from 2000–2010. Although most respondents reported reduced losses since LGD introduction, satisfaction with performance was more strongly linked their observations behavior. commonly negative behaviors were staying home (29 LGDs, 18%) and chasing wildlife (25 15%). On subsistence farms, care negatively correlated age (r = −.34, n = 35, p = .04) reportedly less than other LGDs. Overall, performed satisfactorily commercial thus contributed mitigation.
