Human-Wildlife Interaction
Human-wildlife interaction refers to the ways in which humans and wild animals come into contact with each other. This can occur in various settings, such as urban areas, rural landscapes, and natural habitats. These interactions can be positive, like observing wildlife in nature, or negative, such as conflicts when animals damage crops or pose threats to human safety.
Understanding human-wildlife interaction is important for conservation efforts and managing ecosystems. Effective strategies can help minimize conflicts and promote coexistence, ensuring that both humans and wildlife, including species like bears and deer, can thrive in shared environments.
