Summary
Conflicts over the management of wildlife, often referred to as “human-wildlife conflict”, continue to be a growing concern for human wellbeing and biodiversity conservation. The Global Biodiversity Framework and conservation experts have highlighted the need for rights-based approaches to manage and resolve these conflicts. However, what this looks like in practice remains unclear. This project will consider what it means to apply a rights-based approach to human-wildlife conflict, producing international guidance as well as an adaptable site-level tool.
