Human‎-wildlife conflict ‎(‎HWC‎)‎ has classically been defined as a situation where wildlife impacts humans negatively ‎(‎physically‎,‎ economically‎,‎ or psychologically‎)‎‎,‎ and where humans likewise negatively impact wildlife‎.‎ However‎,‎ there is growing consensus that the conflict between people about wildlife is as important as the conflict between people and wildlife‎.‎ HWC not only affects the conservation of one species in a particular geographic area‎,‎ but also impacts the willingness of an individual‎,‎ a community‎,‎ and wider society to support conservation programs in general‎.‎ This book explores the complexity inherent in these situations‎,‎ covering the theory‎,‎ principles‎,‎ and practical applications of HWC work‎,‎ making it accessible and usable for conservation practitioners‎,‎ as well as of interest to researchers more concerned with a theoretical approach to the subject‎.‎ Through a series of case studies‎,‎ the book‎'‎s authors and editors tackle a wide variety of subjects relating to conflict‎,‎ from the challenges of wicked problems and common pool resources‎,‎ to the roles that storytelling and religion can play in conflict‎.‎ Throughout the book‎,‎ the authors work with a Conservation Conflict Transformation ‎(‎CCT‎)‎ approach‎,‎ adapted from the peacebuilding field to address the reality of conservation today‎.‎ The authors utilise one of CCT‎'‎s key analytic components‎,‎ the Levels of Conflict model‎,‎ as a tool to provide insight into their case studies‎.‎ Although the examples discussed are from the world of marine conservation‎,‎ the lessons they provide are applicable to a wide variety of global conservation issues‎,‎ including those in the terrestrial realm‎.‎ Human‎-Wildlife Conflict will be essential reading for graduate students and established researchers in the field of marine conservation biology‎.‎ It will also be a valuable reference for a global audience of conservation practitioners‎,‎ wildlife managers‎,‎ and other conservation professionals‎.‎
