Wildlife-human interactions: from conflict to coexistence in sustainable landscapes. A cooperative research project between India and Norway

Reports on a project which sought to understand the dynamics of wildlife human interactions in India and Norway (in a sample of multiuse landscapes) and to develop mechanisms of coexistence suitable to the countries. The project focussed on species that regularly come into conflict with humans, but which reflect
the diversity of forms these conflicts can take.

The report makes numerous recommendations for further research and addresses a number of policy implications arising from the study. These address wildlife management policy at both state and national level and some consideration is also given to the implications for Convention on Biological Diversity. The authors challenge stakeholders and decision makers to assess and implement actions to achieve a better coexistence between humans and wildlife based on the report's findings.
