Conservation Science and Practice |  February 5, 2025

Human–wildlife conflict (HWC) presents a growing challenge to conservation and development worldwide. World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and experts on human–wildlife coexistence strategies have responded to this challenge by developing a holistic, globally applicable approach to HWC management that can be tailored to specific local, regional, or national contexts. Its framework addresses the complexity of essential HWC management and long-term coexistence strategies and is implemented in a structured yet contextualized step-by-step sequence by a team of facilitators and multiple stakeholders.
