Scientific Foundations of Zoos and Aquariums

Human-wildlife conflict is an urgent challenge for conservation. Framing human-wildlife interactions strictly as conflict, however, limits the array of solutions. With a broader perspective that emphasises tolerance and coexistence, this book presents solutions to turn conflict into coexistence.

• Describes a variety of new perspectives and solutions focusing on coexistence rather than conflict, and intends to catalyse a paradigm shift in wildlife management and conservation from human-wildlife conflict to human-wildlife interactions and coexistence • Presents a newly developed concept to foster the inclusion of tolerance and coexistence in human-wildlife research: the conflict-to-coexistence continuum • Case studies illustrate frameworks on coexisting with urban wildlife, explore governance for long distance migration, discuss effectiveness and acceptability of interventions for coexistence, and define the place wildlife holds in different landscapes Ecology and conservation | Conservation Biology, 23
