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

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

Occurrence and Livestock Depredation Patterns by Wolves in Highly Cultivated Landscapes [PDF]

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Attacks by large predators on livestock are an important driver of conflicts. Consequently, knowledge about where predators occur, where livestock depredation takes place and what factors influence it will aid the mitigation of stakeholder conflicts ...

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.

Wolf depredation hotspots in France: Clustering analyses accounting for livestock availability

Biological Conservation, 2020
Areas exhibiting high levels of predations on livestock generate conflicts between humans and large carnivores. Managers generally seek to identify these hotspots, in order to diagnose the causes that lead to hotspot formations and to provide financial or technical support to the involved livestock owners.

Patterns of livestock depredation by tiger (Panthera tigris) and leopard (Panthera pardus) in and around Corbett Tiger Reserve, Uttarakhand, India. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
India with estimated more than 2000 tigers (across 18 states) accounts for more than half of the remaining tigers across its range countries. Long-term conservation requires measures to protect the large carnivores and its prey base beyond the Protect ...

Livestock depredation by leopards around Chitwan National Park, Nepal [PDF]

Mammalian Biology, 2019
Leopards are known to prey on livestock throughout their range. Depredation of livestock makes leopards vulnerable to retaliatory killings and reduces public support for conservation. We examined spatiotem-poral patterns, correlates, as well as economic losses and compensation paid for livestock depredation by leopards in buffer zone of Chitwan ...

Dynamic primary resources, not just wild prey availability, underpin lion depredation of livestock in a savanna ecosystem [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Because it can lead to retaliatory killing, livestock depredation by large carnivores is among the foremost threats to carnivore conservation, and it severely impacts human well‐being worldwide.

The costs of livestock depredation by large carnivores [PDF]

, 2016
Livestock depredation by large carnivores entails economic damage to farmers in many parts of the world. The aim of this paper is to analyse and compare the costs of livestock depredation by carnivores across different carnivore species and regions. To this end, we estimate the government's compensation cost function.
