“…The results show that factors causing human-wildlife interactions-including climate change and human encroachment on wildlife habitats-are likely influencing the carrying capacity of the natural habitats; which push wild animals outside their ecological habitats. The findings concur with IUCN (2020), which reported that a number of injuries experienced by community members as a result of raids on farms, livestock husbandry, and other means of subsistence by wild animals has fluctuated throughout time (Gandiwa et al, 2013;Mayengo et al, 2017). These incidences are magnified by the enormous developments happening in the SGR, such as infrastructural development, hunting, agricultural activities and tourism.…”

“…As the human population grows and natural habitats shrink, people and animals compete for limited space, food and other economic resources (Distefano, 2011;Redpath et al, 2013& Acharya et al, 2016. Such situations increase the likelihood of human-wildlife conflicts, which can result in human fatalities and property destruction for households living near wildlife resources (Gandiwa et al, 2013;Mayengo et al, 2017). Conflicts between humans and wildlife occur when both populations compete for natural resources (Carl et al, 2015).…”

“…Tanzania's wildlife species are subjected to unprecedented pressures caused by numerous factors including human population growth, urbanization, climate change, poverty, habitat loss and poaching (see e.g., Kideghesho et al, 2020;Kimaro & Kisingo, 2017;Knapp, 2012;Loibooki et al, 2002). Hostile humanwildlife interactions and poor relations between conservation authorities and local communities present another challenge to conservation of wildlife (Kideghesho et al, 2007;Mayengo et al, 2017;Ntalwila et al, 2017). Efforts to address these challenges have been apparent -through strategies such as the establishment of wildlife protected areas, land use planning, continual support of research and monitoring activities, effective law enforcement, conservation education and benefit sharing with local communities (Kideghesho, 2020).…”

“…In the absence of these schemes, victims of the conservation-induced costs respond through retaliatory and pre-emptive killing of the problem and dangerous wildlife species (Kissui, 2008; Lyamuya et al., 2014; Masenga et al., 2013). Unfortunately, the revenues to cater for these schemes are generated through tourism (Melita & Mendlinger, 2013; TANAPA, 2020), which is currently hard hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. This being the case, it is apparent that the ability for conservation agencies to cope with human-wildlife conflicts will be limited – a situation posing risks to wild animals and exacerbating poor relations between communities and wildlife authorities.…”

“…b) Assistance from wildlife managers: Community member particular pastoralist within the study area avoids killing carnivores while kill their cattle instead they seek assistance from wildlife managers. This prevents conflict due to the facts that pastoralist not allowed to kill wild animal [41]. c) Resettlement of the people living within 500 m from GRs boundary: Resettlement of the people living within 500 m from GR boundary was taken to reduce the conflict.…”
