The “SAFE” Approach to Human Wildlife Conflict.

Human-wildlife conflict can be defined as; any interaction between humans and wildlife that results in negative impacts of human social, economic or cultural life on the conservation of wildlife populations or the environment.

Current strategies revolve around ""resolving"" and ""mitigating"" conflict.

This approach is either too simplistic or short-sighted or addresses only a part of the problem and specific times of a conflict event.

The SAFE Approach to Human-wildlife conflict is results-focused and delivered through five Strategic Outcomes: safe person, safe assets, safe wildlife, safe habitat, and effective monitoring.
