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
