One of the hardest challenges in wildlife conservation arises when the habitat of a species in need of protection overlaps with land used by humans. Wolves and bears can kill livestock, elephants can damage homes and properties and wild boar can damage crops.
In such situations, conservation is not only about protecting wildlife. It is also about finding ways to reduce conflict between people and animals. That challenge grows further when the animals involved are highly adaptable and can learn to overcome attempts to keep them away from humans.
