Objective 3: To increase public understanding and
awareness about human-wildlife conflicts.
Strategy 5: Establish a timely and practical knowledge base by:
 developing “state of the resource” reporting;
 conducting scientific studies and expanding knowledge of life
history characteristics of selected wildlife species, including
population dynamics, behaviour and habitat requirements;
 updating literature and jurisdictional reviews to obtain information
about the causes of and solutions to human-wildlife conflicts,
building on the success of others;
 establishing demonstration and pilot projects to find creative
solutions and develop effective tools to mitigate for human-wildlife
conflicts;
 developing extension and outreach tools.
Strategy 6: Education to effect change by:
 integrating efforts to educate the public about understanding
ecological principles, their relationship with wildlife and the life
histories of wildlife that reside near them;
 incorporating information regarding human-wildlife conflicts into
educational curriculum at all levels;
 informing the public about actions by humans and wildlife that result
in human-wildlife conflicts;
 raising awareness of the public regarding the implications of their
actions with respect to human-wildlife conflict;
 acknowledging the role of resource management activities (such as
regulated hunting, habitat conservation, and wildlife rehabilitation) in
addressing human-wildlife conflicts.
