A pan-African spatial assessment of human conflicts with lions and elephants
E. D. Minin, R. Slotow, et al.
This groundbreaking study identifies human-wildlife conflict hotspots across Africa, showing that dangerous encounters with lions and elephants largely occur near areas of high human population. The research, conducted by Enrico Di Minin, Rob Slotow, Christoph Fink, Hans Bauer, and Craig Packer, suggests that strategic placement of mitigation fences could significantly protect both livestock and crops, achieving a high return on investment.
