摘要: Pastoralists have dealt with livestock losses from predators for millennia, yet effective mitigation strategies that balance wildlife conservation and sustainable agriculture are still needed today. In Wyoming, USA, 274 ranchers responded to a retrospective survey, rated the efficacy of predation foxes, dogs, coyotes, wolves, bobcats, mountain lions, bears, birds (buzzards, eagles, hawks, ravens). Rancher reported varied by predator species, strategy, lethality strategies, but not type. Ranchers perceive they were most at mitigating foxes moderately large carnivores, least birds. also avian seem be challenging The general perception was lethal more than non-lethal guard animals showing potential among options. general, did as proxy strategies. However, few being successful options such herding, fencing, stalling night details about applications needed. Innovation in current or novel examples efficacy, justify producer adoption.
