| dc.description.abstract | This guide is for governments, conservationist practitioners and insurers to design and introduce insurance schemes to reduce human-wildlife conflict (HWC) and promote human-wildlife coexistence. HWC imposes significant costs on poor, small-scale farmers and pastoralists in many parts of the world, particularly those living adjacent to protected areas and on larger-scale operations such as plantations. Costs include losses from crop damage, livestock injury or death, property damage and human injury or death. Opportunity and other indirect costs add to the burden of HWC. Biodiversity is also impacted as wildlife is often injured or killed in retaliation. | |
