Human-wildlife conflict refers to the negative interactions that occur between humans and wildlife, often due to competition for resources such as food, water, or habitat. This conflict can result in economic losses, human injuries or deaths, and harm to wildlife populations. Researchers in this field study the causes of human-wildlife conflict, assess its impacts on both humans and wildlife, and develop strategies to mitigate and prevent conflicts. This research area is important for promoting coexistence between humans and wildlife and ensuring the conservation of biodiversity.
