These principles will serve as initial criteria against which individual proposals
and initiatives can be evaluated, as tools and mechanisms for dealing with

and the general public are faced with challenges of finding real and lasting
solutions to mitigate for human-wildlife conflicts. Ontario will need to continue
to communicate and work closely with other jurisdictions to share information
and learn from their experiences in dealing with human-wildlife conflicts. The
consensus from other jurisdictions is that human-wildlife conflicts are not
easily or completely resolved, requiring time, perseverance, ongoing dialogue
and finite resources to implement effective solutions
