Human Wildlife Conflict consists of any conflict between humans and wildlife that causes damage to humans, wildlife, or property. The conflict between humans and wildlife is not a new concept, it has been present since the beginning of existence of humans and animals. However, the frequency of conflicts involving damage-causing animals has grown, primarily due to the increase in human populations and the expansion of human activities. As humans expand and increase their land use, valuable habitat is taken away from animals, causing conflict over the land between wildlife and humans. Human wildlife conflicts are the result of current socioeconomic and political climates and are often highly debated and sensitive topics because the resources concerned are of economic value and the species involved are often high profile and legally protected.((2018.

Human wildlife conflict is an extremely multi faceted, complex, and personal issue that has no clear-cut or easy solution. This is why it is important to raise awareness, continue to search for new solutions, and keep challenging our views on ways humans and wildlife can coexist and thrive together. It is never easy to find solutions to these problems, but to look for new motivations and values for these resources is crucial for developing plans to live in harmony with wildlife. There will always be conflicts between humans and wildlife, but if we can respond to and predict these conflicts more efficiently we will all be better off because of it. | Human wildlife conflict is an extremely multi faceted, complex, and personal issue that has no clear-cut or easy solution.
