Patterns, costs, and drivers of livestock depredations by leopards, in rural settlements of Pakistan

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023
Human-carnivore conflicts have been a most important driver of carnivore population declines globally. We investigated patterns, costs, and drivers of human-leopard conflicts in Banna Valley, Pakistan during 2017–2018. Since topographic and environmental

, 2017
Human-carnivore conflict occurs globally, particularly in regions where large carnivores predate livestock. Retaliatory killings do occur, and although predation of livestock by carnivores happens, losses from other factors such as disease or injury can ...

What does coexistence mean? Insight from place‐based trajectories of pastoralists and bears encounters in the Pyrenees

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The recovery of large carnivores in Europe raises issues related to sharing landscape with humans. Beyond technical solutions, it is widely recognized that social factors also contribute to shaping coexistence. In this context, scholars increasingly stress the need to adopt place‐based approaches by analysing how humans and wildlife interact ...

Drivers of human attitudes towards wolves Canis lupus in Kazakhstan

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Kazakhstan is recognized as a key stronghold for the grey wolf (Canis lupus). Nonetheless, the wolf status and the dynamics of human‐wolf coexistence in the region remain poorly understood. This study aims to fill that gap by exploring current attitudes towards wolves in Kazakhstan and identify the underlying drivers of these attitudes.

Understanding contingency in wolf‐mediated livestock predation across a mosaic of land uses: An agent‐based modelling approach

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The return of grey wolves to multi‐use landscapes in North America and Europe raises concerns over accompanying risks of livestock predation. While local‐level risk factors have received attention, it is difficult to explore the role that landscape‐scale variables, such as landscape connectivity, play in driving livestock losses.
