Take Home Message: Human-wildlife conflict can occur when human and animal populations overlap. These conflicts can take on many dimensions, from crop damage to attacks on humans and livestock, and many different species may be involved. Thankfully, many innovative methods have been developed to limit human-wildlife conflict, including the use of natural barriers, electric fences, disguises, and early warning systems. You can avoid conflict with wildlife by keeping food away from animals, by keeping a safe distance from wildlife, and by learning about potentially dangerous species before venturing into their habitat.
