Planning for wolf-livestock coexistence: landscape context predicts livestock depredation risk in agricultural landscapes

animal, 2023
Extensive pastoral livestock systems in Central Europe provide multiple ecosystem services and support biodiversity in agricultural landscapes but their viability is challenged by livestock depredation (LD) associated with the recovery of wolf populations.

Spatial and seasonal variation of livestock depredation by large carnivores in the Pamir Mountains of northern Pakistan

Conservation Science and Practice, 2023
The livestock depredation by large carnivores is a main cause for increasing human–wildlife conflicts (HWCs) and is one of the prime challenges for carnivore's conservation and a major economic concern to livestock‐dependent communities around wildlife ...

Patterns of livestock depredation and cost-effectiveness of fortified livestock enclosures in northern Tanzania. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2019
AbstractHuman–carnivore conflicts and retaliatory killings contribute to carnivore populations' declines around the world. Strategies to mitigate conflicts have been developed, but their efficacy is rarely assessed in a randomized case–control design.

Night Lighting and Domestic Dogs Reduce Livestock Depredation Risk in the Tropical Lowlands of Nepal

Conservation Letters
Increasing livestock depredation by recovering large carnivore populations undermines local support for long‐term conservation. Past studies on livestock depredation have primarily focused on biophysical predictors, often overlooking the role of ...

Blue sheep strongly affect snow leopard relative abundance but not livestock depredation in the Annapurna Conservation Area, Nepal

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022
Large carnivores play key roles in their ecosystems, but their protection is a major challenge in biodiversity conservation due to conflicts with human interests. The snow leopard (Panthera uncia) is the top predator of Asian high-altitude landscapes and

Spatial Determinants of Livestock Depredation and Human Attitude Toward Wolves in Kailadevi Wildlife Sanctuary, Rajasthan, India

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Gray wolves are capable of adapting to human-dominated landscapes by utilizing domestic prey as a source of food. Livestock depredation by wolves incurs a heavy economic loss to the villagers, resulting in negative attitudes toward the species and ...

A Conservation-Based Approach to Compensation for Livestock Depredation: The Florida Panther Case Study. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Calf (Bos taurus) depredation by the federally endangered Florida panther (Puma concolor coryi) on ranches in southwest Florida is an important issue because ranches represent mixed landscapes that provide habitat critical to panther recovery.
