Details

When humans and animals clash there is often physical, economic, political and sociological damage due to creeping urbanisation, agriculture, climate change, war, political turbulence and economic migration.

The causes of human-animal conflict are complex and multifactorial. This book is a compendium of advice about how to identify perpetrators, allocate responsibility,avoid wrongful allegations, address the causes, assess compensation and considerother forms of reparation, make legal and ethical judgments, and formulate policy. It draws on hard-won experience in many domains, including conservation, medicine, pathology, law, and moral philosophy. This is a comprehensive guide for all those confronted by human-animal conflict - practitioners of veterinary and human medicine, policy-makers, wildlife and community managers, administrators and farmers.

There is a vast, sprawling literature on human-animal conflict: here it is, distilled.
