摘要: Abstract Human–carnivore conflict is a serious management issue often causing opposition towards conservation efforts. In survey of 481 households in seven different villages outside the Serengeti National Park Tanzania, 67.4% respondents owned livestock and 27.4% all surveyed reported losses total 4.5% their to wild predators over 12 months. This loss equated an average annual financial 19.2% (US $26.8) cash income. Livestock depredation was be caused most by spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta) (97.7%), leopard (Panthera pardus) (1.6%), baboon (Papio cynocephalus) (0.4%), lion leo) (0.1%) lastly black-backed jackal (Canis mesomelas) (0.1%). Total during 2003 amounted US $12,846 which kills were account for 98.2%. The mean per household (of those that loss) 5.3 head stock, represents more than two-thirds local Depredation large felids occurred only narrow zone along protected area ( 30 km). Tolerance among low. Logistic regression models indicated education improved tolerance, while owners higher rates linked approval lethal retaliation effective protection measures associated with reduced desire retaliation. We recommend further research should identify precise causes can reduce depredation.
