Conservation conflicts (i.e. when parties clash over differences in their objectives and when one party asserts, or at least is perceived to assert, its interests at the expense of another) are one of the most challenging problems facing conservation researchers and practitioners. Conflicts are detrimental for the conservation of species and costly to the economic development and wellbeing of local people. Although they are widespread around the world and involve in many cases multiple species within the same area, multi-species studies are rare, which ultimately underestimate the magnitude of conflicts. In this study, we assessed the spatiotemporal patterns of incident reports for multiple “problem species” in Northern Botswana.
In the eastern Okavango Delta Panhandle, subsistence farmers share and compete for resources with a wide range of megafauna including elephants, hippopotamus, lions, leopards, crocodiles, wild dogs and hyenas. All these species have different ecological needs (e.g. species distribution, migration, diet) as well as different conservation statuses. This is why in many cases their interaction and potential conflict with people’s livelihoods are approached and managed separately. Using incident reports collected by the Department of Wildlife and National Parks (DWNP, Botswana) since 2008 we identified trends in incident reporting for different species across the year within the study area. We found that elephants and lions were the most reported species across all villages. However, both species showed contrasting seasonal patterns, with elephant incidents being mainly prevalent during the wet season (November-May) and lions during the dry season (June-October). Our findings suggest that farmers in the Eastern Panhandle are affected by local wildlife throughout the year, which potentially could impact the perception local communities have towards wildlife. We highlight the importance of investigating the effect of multiple species involved in conflicts in terms of management, as well as their potential effect on people’s attitude towards wildlife.

Identifying drivers of illegal goose hunting and evaluating the effectiveness of management strategies to avoid conservation conflicts
Jones, Isabel; Whytock, Robin; Duthie, Brad; Bunnefeld, Nils (Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Combining social research with modelling tools to simulate decision making, can help identify potential win-win conservation strategies that address the needs of biodiversity conservation and local people, thus avoiding ... -
Effects of density, species interactions, and environmental stochasticity on the dynamics of British bird communities
Sandal, Lisa; Grøtan, Vidar; Sæther, Bernt‐Erik; Freckleton, Robert P.; Noble, David G.; Ovaskainen, Otso (John Wiley & Sons, 2022)Our knowledge of the factors affecting species abundances is mainly based on time-series analyses of a few well-studied species at single or few localities, but we know little about whether results from such analyses can ... -
Mothers’ return-to-work reasons and work–family conflict : does a partner involved in childcare make a difference?
Moilanen, Sanna; Räikkönen, Eija; Alasuutari, Maarit (Routledge, 2023)Facilitating mothers’ work–family reconciliation upon their return to work can be considered a viable means of enhancing women’s overall employment participation. This study examined return-to-work reasons among mothers ... -
Diffusion processes involving multiple conserved charges : a study from kinetic theory and implications to the fluid-dynamical modeling of heavy ion collisions
Fotakis, Jan A.; Greif, Moritz; Greiner, Carsten; Denicol, Gabriel S.; Niemi, Harri (American Physical Society, 2020)The bulk nuclear matter produced in heavy ion collisions carries a multitude of conserved quantum numbers: electric charge, baryon number, and strangeness. Therefore, the diffusion processes associated with these conserved ... -
