Guiding private afforestation to raise public goods provision
Stories of coexistence
Pursuing human–wildlife coexistence is particularly challenging for carnivore species as conflict can negatively impact human livelihood and well‐being. Understanding the social context of how communities perceive conflicts with carnivores, often witnessed in their folklore and stories, can shed light on pathways for fostering coexistence. In the current study, we explored the stories participants shared about leopard ( Panthera pardus ) attacks …
Highs and Lows of Arboreal Life
Lion‐tailed macaques ( Macaca silenus ), endemic to the Western Ghats of India, are increasingly threatened by habitat loss and degradation, and are vulnerable to environmental change. Insights into their spatial ecology can reveal the strategies that enable these macaques to navigate and use spatially complex heterogeneous spaces. This is crucial for conservation, given the increasing human disturbance in and around the Western Ghats. This study…
Knowledge, attitudes and practices related to health and well-being in a forest fringe community in southern India
Our study highlights the need to incorporate socioeconomic inequities and barriers while devising healthcare outreach, awareness and service program. We suggest interventions aimed at enhancing healthcare access and promoting healthier practices that mirror the specific needs and socioeconomic dynamics of the local communities for improved community health and well-being
Charting risk pathways of leopard attacks on people
The often-under-researched aspect of human-wildlife conflict (HWC) is the socio-cultural factors affecting a community’s experience of HWC. In this study, we examine the risk of leopard attacks in North India where ~ 3 fatal leopard attacks occur on people per year. We used a mixed method approach to weigh the risks of a person experiencing a leopard attack in Himachal Pradesh (HP) across parallel scenarios by (a) calculating the most probable pa…
Influence of charismatic species and conservation engagement on the nature-viewing preferences of wildlife tourists
Nature-based tourism is rising in popularity in developing countries. This presents a challenge for protected area (PA) managers forcing them to revisit management strategies to balance revenue generation while maintaining ecological integrity. Identifying tourists’ preference for nature-viewing can aid in improved tourism management while simultaneously enhancing visitor experiences. We conducted semi-structured surveys with 516 tourists visitin…
Seeing animals like a state? Divergent forester subjectivities and the managing of human-wildlife conflicts in South India
Food for thought-examining farmers' willingness to engage in conservation stewardship around a protected area in central India
Puri, M., E. F. Pienaar, K. K. Karanth. and B. A. Loiselle. 2021. Food for thought—examining farmers' willingness to engage in conservation stewardship around a protected area in central India. Ecology and Society 26(2):46. https://doi.org/10.5751/ES-12544-260246
Coffee, Trees, and Labor
Tropical and subtropical plantation agriculture has been shown to be compatible with the conservation of biodiversity, but the specific practices, conditions, and farmer strategies associated with such diversity remain poorly understood. In the ecologically rich region of India’s Western Ghats, specifically, farm-scale tree species diversity is a key structural condition explaining avian diversity. Surveying a sample of coffee plantations in the …

The production of human-wildlife conflict
History, Location, and Species Matter
Preventing loss of crops, threats to livestock, damage to property, and human injury and death attributed to wildlife are conservation challenges. We surveyed over 5,000 households around 11 reserves in India to examine these issues and mitigation efforts. Crops were lost by 71% of households, livestock by 17%, and human injury and death were reported by 3% of households (losses attributed to 32 species). Households deployed 12 mitigation measure…
