Insufficient scientific evidence hinders large carnivore management in Romania

Global Ecology and Conservation
Human-wildlife conflicts are escalating due to growing competition for territory and resources. Romania hosts Europe's largest population of European brown bears (Ursus arctos arctos) and gray wolves (Canis lupus), both protected under the European ...

Carnivore Management Zones and their Impact on Sheep Farming in Norway. [PDF]

Environ Manage, 2019
Abstract We investigated the impact of Norway’s current zonal carnivore management system for four large carnivore species on sheep farming. Sheep losses increased when the large carnivores were reintroduced, but has declined again after the introduction of the zoning management system.

Implementation uncertainty when using recreational hunting to manage carnivores [PDF]

Journal of Applied Ecology, 2012
Summary1. Wildlife managers often rely on resource users, such as recreational or commercial hunters, to achieve management goals. The use of hunters to control wildlife populations is especially common for predators and ungulates, but managers cannot assume that hunters will always fill annual quotas set by the authorities.

Forest structure has stronger effects than cattle occurrence on the occupancy of a carnivore guild

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023
Anthropogenic activities can profoundly affect ecological communities. This is true of the most ubiquitous type of anthropogenic land-use, livestock grazing. While livestock grazing is known to impact vegetation structure, soil, and hydrological features,

Contrasting human perceptions of and attitudes towards two threatened small carnivores, Lycalopex fulvipes and Leopardus guigna, in rural communities adjacent to protected areas in Chile [PDF]

, 2018
Indexación: Scopus.The interaction between humans and small carnivores is a phenomenon especially frequent in rural fringes, as is the case of communities surrounding natural areas. In Chile, two species of threatened carnivores, the Darwin's Fox and the

Conflict Misleads Large Carnivore Management and Conservation: Brown Bears and Wolves in Spain. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2016
Large carnivores inhabiting human-dominated landscapes often interact with people and their properties, leading to conflict scenarios that can mislead carnivore management and, ultimately, jeopardize conservation. In northwest Spain, brown bears Ursus arctos are strictly protected, whereas sympatric wolves Canis lupus are subject to lethal control.

Media Framing of Financial Mechanisms for Resolving Human–Predator Conflict in Namibia [PDF]

, 2015
The decline in carnivore populations is largely exacerbated by lethal methods used to reduce livestock depredation. Financial mechanisms are designed to limit lethal control by reducing the cost of depredation. The media can affect how the general public

Harassment‐induced changes in lion space use as a conflict mitigation tool

Conservation Science and Practice, 2021
Human‐wildlife conflict represents a substantial threat to rural livelihoods and species persistence. Directed harassment (i.e., hazing) is one method for mitigating conflict, though gauging its effectiveness is often complicated by a lack of replication,

Patterns and correlates of claims for brown bear damage on a continental scale [PDF]

, 2017
Wildlife damage to human property threatens human-wildlife coexistence. Conflicts arising from wildlife damage in intensively managed landscapes often undermine conservation efforts, making damage mitigation and compensation of special concern for ...
