“…Researchers and conservation organizations could work collaboratively to better understand Maasai lion hunting practices and how such practices can be curtailed if necessary in ways that respect Maasai cultural and socio-economic needs while also protecting lion populations. Recent literature on human dimensions of wildlife suggests that this sort of participatory approach to conservation interventions is essential to reduce humanwildlife conflict and protect the future of wildlife populations (Treves et al, 2006(Treves et al, , 2009.…”

Populations of the African lion Panthera leo are declining dramatically, with the species' survival in some areas closely linked to levels of tolerance by rural communities. In Tanzania and Kenya several of the remaining lion populations outside protected areas reside adjacent to rural communities, where they are hunted. As many of these communities are Maasai, research and conservation efforts have focused on understanding and curbing Maasai lion hunting practices. Much of this work has been informed by a dichotomous explanatory model of Maasai lion hunting as either a 'cultural' ritual or a 'retaliatory' behaviour against predation on livestock. We present qualitative data from interviews (n 5 246) in both countries to illustrate that lion hunting by Maasai is related to overlapping motivations that are simultaneously social, emotional and political (in response to conservation initiatives). Additional case study material from Tanzania highlights how politics associated with conservation activities and age-set dynamics affect lion hunting in complex and overlapping ways. Our findings contribute an ethnographic perspective on Maasai lion hunting, people-predator relations, and how these relations are linked to conservation politics.

“…Knowledge of these social concerns facilitates management plans that are satisfactory to all interests, including the preservation of the environment (Treves, Wallace, Naughton-Treves, & Morales, 2006) and the success of the tourism economy as pertaining to this study (Ballantyne, Packer, & Sutherland, 2011). Before land management policies are instituted, officials in charge of environmental regulations are increasingly seeking to understand public perception, not only for consultation but also to augment the education of the public on human-wildlife conflict (White et al, 2005).…”

In savanna ecosystems, African elephants (Loxodonta africana) and large trees such as marula (Sclerocarya birreaand) and knobthorn (Acacia nigrescens) have ecological and human value; however, elephants have a large impact on favored trees, motivating the need for ecological conservation strategies. This study examined the perceptions of tourists and residents towards elephants, large trees, and other relevant factors for management purposes. In the Associated Private Nature Reserves, South Africa, a survey was distributed to tourists and residents to determine perceptions of elephants of different age classes, group sizes and sex, and toward savanna habitat impacted to varying degrees by elephants. Both interest groups had high attractiveness rankings for all elephant types. Undamaged tree types received high attractiveness rankings while damaged trees received lower ranks, revealing a conflict of interests.Undamaged trees and the elephant types that cause high amounts of impact to those trees are both liked. Respondents may not be associating attractiveness levels with levels of impact. Residents encouraged more intrusive elephant management methods than tourists. Environmental manipulation was found to be the most supported and balanced technique. This supports the use of meta-population management, which focuses primarily on the environment and the elephant population secondarily.

“…Para a gestão do conflito, se faz necessária uma abordagem interdisciplinar, que concilie as necessidades das populações humanas afetadas com a manutenção dos animais silvestres envolvidos Linnell, 2013). Muitos estudos foram feitos recomendando ferramentas e métodos para a gestão do conflito com a fauna (Treves & Karanth, 2003;Madden, 2004;Treves et al, 2006;Dickman, 2010). Todos eles indicam que o ponto essencial para a mitigação de conflitos é o envolvimento das populações afetadas nas buscas por soluções.…”

RESUMO:Estudos conduzidos por cientistas naturais sobre a relação entre fauna silvestre e populações tradicionais muitas vezes não apontam a assimetria e as controvérsias inerentes ao tema, principalmente quando tratam da fauna carismática. O embate entre modos tradicionais de lidar com os problemas advindos da convivência com onças e o empenho em conservar esses animais está se dando em uma arena onde o diálogo é falho. O objetivo do artigo foi apresentar a rede sociotécnica desse conflito. Ao assumir a Teoria Ator-Rede como método para analisar essa relação, espera-se dar um passo para a composição de um mundo comum que considere de forma simétrica os humanos e não-humanos que compõem a rede. Os atores, suas práticas e conexões na rede e as dissonâncias nos discursos foram apresentados procurando seguir alguns preceitos básicos da teoria, como adotar a política como parte do fazer científico, abandonar a divisão modernista e as representações e assumir a multiplicidade ontológica.Palavras-chave: Teoria Ator-Rede; rede sociotécnica; onças; ribeirinhos; Amazônia.ABSTRACT: Studies conducted by natural scientists on the relationship between wildlife and traditional populations often do not indicate the inherent asymmetry and controversies of the subject, especially when dealing with charismatic fauna. The clash between traditional ways of dealing with the problems arising from the coexistence with big cats and the commitment to preserve these animals is taking place in an arena with little room for dialog.
