Human-Wildlife Conflict Collaboration

Since 2006, the Human-Wildlife Conflict Collaboration (HWCC) has worked with over 500 stakeholders and practitioners in wildlife conservation to integrate conservation conflict transformation (CCT) best practices through facilitated interventions, capacity building efforts and strategic guidance. By addressing the more elusive and deep-rooted social side of conflict through conservation conflict transformation, communities are more receptive to conservation goals, polarization of conflict decreases, shared common ground is identified and built upon, hostile relationships are transformed, and commitments to positive change are genuine and on-going. By creating these more desirable social conditions, efforts to address the more tangible evidence of the conflict ? retaliatory killing of endangered wildlife, poaching, livestock depredation and crop raiding, controversy over proposed management interventions? are more successful and sustainable.
