Living alongside carnivores can incur both costs and benefits on people's lifeways. While positive outcomes of carnivore presence can foster coexistence, negative relations with carnivores can trigger carnivores' killing and undermine their conservation. In response to this, conservation efforts increasingly focus on promoting positive human-carnivore relations, most often through improvements in the flow of economic benefits from carnivores to local communities. However, there is a question mark over the effectiveness and potential consequences of market-based instruments for carnivore conservation. To understand the opportunities and pitfalls of market-based instruments for carnivore conservation, we use a centre-periphery framework to compare human-carnivore relations in two pastoral systems with uneven market-based conservation efforts across Kenya. We conducted 230 semi-structured interviews on costs and benefits, mitigation strategies and self-reported propensity to kill carnivores. Our study shows how different human-carnivore relations are enacted in areas with uneven market-based conservation efforts. We found that the extent to which benefits are attributed to alive carnivores is largely shaped by the existence of market-based conservation efforts in the area. Our results also document an openly self-reported propensity to kill carnivores in places where market-based conservation efforts are meagre at best. A more robust understanding of the effectiveness of market-based instruments for carnivore conservation is essential to sustain positive human-carnivore relations into the future.

Convergences and divergences between scientific and Indigenous and Local Knowledge contribute to inform carnivore conservation
Torrents-Ticó, Miquel; Fernández-Llamazares, Álvaro; Burgas, Daniel; Cabeza, Mar (Springer; Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, 2021)There is increasing recognition that diverse knowledge systems can work in mutually enriching ways and that Indigenous and Local Knowledge (ILK) can enhance biodiversity conservation. However, studies using scientific ... -
Evaluating the potential for evolutionary mismatch in Batesian mimics : a case study in the endangered Smooth Snake (Coronella austriaca)
Valkonen, Janne; Mäkelä, Anni; Mappes, Johanna; Lopez Sepulcre, Andres (Wiley-Blackwell Publishing, Inc., 2018)Many harmless organisms gain a survival advantage by mimicking venomous species. This is the case of the endangered smooth snake (Coronella austriaca), which mimics venomous vipers. Although this may protect the smooth ... -
Assessing tolerance for wildlife : human-elephant conflict in Chimanimani, Mozambique
Virtanen, Pekka; Macandza, Valério; Goba, Paulo; Mourinho, José; Roque, Dionisio; Mamugy, Faruk; Langa, Bernabe (Taylor & Francis, 2021)Human–elephant conflict (HEC) is a common problem for rural populations in sub-Saharan Africa. Recent studies have shown that willingness to tolerate wildlife is largely a function of perceived risks and benefits, but most ... -
Developing response-ability in human-wasp encounters
Santaoja, Minna; Torniainen, Jyrki; Komonen, Atte (The Finnish Society for Human-Animal Studies, 2023)Learning to live with unloved others is crucial in the ecological crisis. Unloved wasps are feared and disliked for their sting. Understanding of their ecological importance is increasing, however. Human-wasp encounters ... -
