The costs and causes of human-cheetah conflict on livestock and game farms

摘要: Cheetahs rely heavily upon unprotected land for their habitat requirements, so frequently come into conflict with humans because of potential to predate livestock and farmed game. However, the costs imposed by cheetahs vary, these do not always have a clear-cut relationship intensity caused. Here, we describe direct indirect human-cheetah on farmers cheetahs. We conclude that is influenced many factors, including environmental (such as climate seasonality) social/cultural power, vulnerability, group norms). Ultimately, whether are tolerated largely depends perceived benefits presence. therefore provide an overview popular approaches used mitigate cheetah presence suggest future strategies could help improve encourage long-term human–cheetah coexistence.
