This book won the 2023 The Wildlife Society Publication Award in the authored book category.
Human-wildlife interactions increase exponentially as more and more humans and wildlife crowd into the same limited space. Such interactions often become conflicts when wildlife threaten human health and safety well-being or the food supply. This second edition of Human-Wildlife Interactions: From Conflict to Coexistence provides a comprehensive review of the severity of these problems and the methods used to resolve clashes between humans and wildlife.
During his forty-year career as a wildlife professor and scientist Dr. Michael Conover founder of journal Human-Wildlife Interactions has become a recognized leader of the scientific field of human-wildlife interactions. In this book he presents the range of methods for wildlife damage management including employing lethal methods; distributing supplemental food; changing the behavior of either humans or wildlife; and excluding or repelling wildlife. Backed by numerous case studies and informative side bars the book documents resolutions to specific human-wildlife conflicts throughout the literature.
Containing full color illustrations throughout the second edition of Human-Wildlife Interactions: From Conflict to Coexistence provides authoritative coverage and depth of both theoretical and practical information. It serves as an invaluable resource for students researchers and professional wildlife managers.
