Abstract:
Human wildlife conflict (HWC) is a highly studied but unresolved aspect of wildlife management. To further knowledge on HWC, this study used a multidisciplinary approach to investigate HWC implications for local people living adjacent to two key tiger conservation reserves in Nepal. The study also assessed the potential to redistribute financial benefits accruing from predator conservation to those bearing costs through associated HWC. Secondary data and anecdotal reports suggest that local people experience significant direct and indirect costs from predator conservation through livestock los

Abstract:
Tigers (Panthera tigris) are critically endangered worldwide, with their native populations reduced to less than 7% of their total geographic range in the last hundred years. Currently there are only 6 subspecies residing in thirteen range countries. The main causes of their population decline have been attributed to habitat loss and fragmentation, prey depletion and poaching for the illegal wildlife trade. At the same time, tiger conservation and management is severely constrained by inadequate field-based research that is localised and yet at the same beneficial to the site managers. While n

Abstract:
Tiger conservation represents many of the challenges facing biodiversity conservation internationally. It requires the protection of a potentially-dangerous predator in forested ecosystems, which are also utilized by some of the poorest human populations for survival and livelihoods. In such contexts, establishing exclusive protected areas for tiger conservation can antagonize local stakeholders, yet their support is crucial to successfully managing the protected areas.

Abstract:
Humans maintain wild animals in zoological parks for the purposes of education,conservation, research, and recreation. However, abnormal behaviors may develop in animals housed in human-made environments, if those environments do not allow them to carry out their natural behaviors (such as swimming, climbing, stalking, and predation). Captive environments in zoological parks often do not provide for natural behaviors due to spatial constraints and negative public reaction.
