Abstract

This document explores the coexistence of wildlife and livestock and the conflicts that can arise from their interactions. It acknowledges the positive contributions of livestock grazing to ecosystem health and habitat management, but also highlights the potential for conflicts such as shared infections, competition for resources, fencing, and the presence of predators. The document suggests various interventions, including zoning and land use planning, diversifying livelihoods, and implementing biosafety measures. It emphasizes the importance of addressing inequality and promoting co-management and interdisciplinary approaches. The document concludes by emphasizing the need for further research in order to balance food security and ecosystem services while minimizing negative impacts. [Extracted from the article]
