How to Effectively Avoid Human - Wildlife Conflict | CBCGDF Climate Change Working Group

To effectively avoid human - wildlife conflict, several strategies can be employed. One important approach is through proper land - use planning. Designating specific areas for wildlife habitats and ensuring a buffer zone between these areas and human settlements can reduce the chances of encounters. For example, creating wildlife corridors can allow animals to move freely without encroaching on human - occupied areas.

Education also plays a crucial role. Informing local communities about the importance of wildlife and how to coexist with them can change attitudes. People need to understand that most wild animals are not a threat if left alone. Teaching them proper waste management can also be helpful, as improper waste disposal can attract wild animals to human areas.

 

Another aspect is the use of non - lethal deterrents. For instance, installing fences that are designed to keep wildlife out without harming them can be effective. In some cases, using sound or light - based deterrents can also discourage animals from approaching human settlements. Additionally, promoting sustainable development practices that do not overly encroach on wildlife habitats can help maintain a balance between human needs and wildlife conservation.
