Description
Human-wildlife conflict (HWC) hinders conservation globally and will continue to become more widespread as human population and development increase. Conservation and development efforts often lack knowledge, tools, and resources needed to address the complexities of HWC, especially when working in isolation from one another. Practitioners in all sectors would benefit from opportunities to exchange ideas and information across project sites and with other organizations, in order to learn about and develop best practices in preventing and mitigating HWC. The Human-Wildlife Conflict Collaboration (HWCC) aims to prevent and mitigate human-wildlife conflict (HWC) through a global network and partnership of diverse stakeholders across sectors and disciplines that facilitate collaborative learning, innovation, scientific analysis, and development of best practices. Targeted activities of the collaboration will meet the collective need for improved information exchange, awareness raising and communication among key sectors; capacity building and training among practitioners; improved decision making and policy development; and enhanced understanding of the human dimensions of HWC.
