From Cheetahs to Chimpanzees: A Comparative Review of the Drivers of Human-Carnivore Conflict and Human-Primate Conflict

摘要: Human-wildlife conflict is a growing conservation threat, and increasingly of importance to primate conservationists. Despite this, relatively little work has been done date on the drivers human-primate conflict, especially compared other conflict-causing taxa such as large carnivores. However, are often very similar across species, so researchers can learn important lessons from conducted taxa. This paper discusses 8 key factors which likely affect how hostile people towards wildlife any damage they cause – 6 these common both carnivores primates, while one much more applicable specific primates. These involve numerous social cultural factors, highlight truly understanding local in order develop effective mitigation strategies.
