human-wildlife conflict
Human-wildlife conflict occurs when the needs and behaviors of humans clash with those of wild animals. This can happen in various ways, such as when animals damage crops, livestock, or property, leading to economic losses for farmers and communities.
Additionally, conflicts can arise when wild animals pose threats to human safety, such as attacks by predators or the spread of diseases. These interactions can lead to negative attitudes towards wildlife, prompting some to take measures that may harm animal populations or disrupt ecosystems.
