The case presented in this paper is a unique situation of livestock pastoralists, living in the buffer zone of Panna Tiger Reserve in India, displaying unusually high tolerance towards large carnivores in spite offrequent predation incidents. The researchers dissect the case, examine local people’s practices anddraw attentionto factors influencing peoples practices.Through interviews and personal observations the researchers collecteddetailed information on peoples practices and the factors influencing such practices. They collected informationon large carnivores near 29 villages in the buffer zone and looked at factors influencing their presence in theseareas. Their findings reveal the play and working of several social factors that are instrumental in influencingpeoples tolerance and people’s behaviours towards forests and wildlife and recommend that carnivore conservationprojects focusing outside protected areas should critically assess the influence of such aspects on their conservationgoals. And wherever applicable, find ways to innovatively model them into their conservation plans
