Predicting intervention priorities for wildlife conflicts.

摘要: There is growing interest in developing effective interventions to manage socially and environmentally damaging conservation conflicts. are a variety of intervention strategies that can be applied various contexts, but the reasons one type chosen over another remain underexplored. We surveyed researchers practitioners (n = 427) explore how characteristics conflicts decision makers influence recommendations alleviate conflict. Using full-factorial design, we experimentally manipulated 3 aspects descriptions 8 different wildlife-conflict scenarios (development status conflict country, framing, legality killing wild animals) recorded which 5 types (wildlife impact reduction, awareness, enforcement, economic incentives, or stakeholder engagement) respondents prioritized. also information on respondents' demographic disciplinary backgrounds. Stakeholder-based were recommended most often survey written feedback. However, when fitted multinomial mixed logit models with fully completed scenario responses 411), influenced by small changes details differed according respondent characteristics. Enforcement awareness prioritized relatively more for highly developed nations natural science backgrounds less experience Contrastingly, wildlife was described as illegal. Age, gender, development respondent's home country predicted some decisions. Further, interrogating influences shaping making will further helps evidence-informed interventions.
