“…Pero, contra todo pronóstico, el seguimiento sociológico de esta iniciativa desveló que los ciudadanos redujeron su tolerancia hacia el lobo y mostraron una tendencia mayor a matarlo de forma ilegal (Treves, Naughton-Treves y Shelley, 2013). Es más, la tolerancia continuó bajando cuando el lobo fue declarado especie cinegética en Wisconsin (Hogberg, Treves, Shaw y Naughton, 2013; Browne-Nuñez, Treves, MacFarland, Voyles y Turng, 2015).…”

RESUMEN:El lobo (Canis lupus) disminuyó en España durante gran parte del siglo XX. Pero a partir de los años 70, comenzó una recuperación que ha continuado hasta la actualidad, cuando se estima la presencia de más de 2.000 ejemplares en unos 115.000 km 2 del cuadrante noroccidental español. Los conflictos con el ganado convierten al lobo en una especie polémica y obligan a su control en algunas zonas de España. Su gran capacidad de adaptación y su elevado potencial reproductivo permiten su explotación cinegética. Sin embargo, el lobo es una especie simbólica en un importante sector de la población, lo que añade complejidad a la regulación de su caza y a toda su gestión. Este artículo describe la gestión del lobo en las distintas comunidades autónomas españolas y los aspectos ecológicos y sociales que explican el conflicto del lobo. Mediante una revisión bibliográfica, discutimos el papel de la caza y el turismo del lobo en el desarrollo rural, y se presentan los debates actuales sobre si la caza mejora la percepción del lobo y reduce el furtivismo y los daños al ganado.PALABRAS CLAVE: Canis lupus; caza; caza ilegal; conflictos; daños al ganado; gestión; lobo; percepciones del lobo; turismo.ABSTRACT: Wolves (Canis lupus) were decreasing in Spain for much of the twentieth century, but from the 1970's, they began a recovery that has been going on until today. Nowadays, there are more than 2,000 wolves across 115,000 km 2 of the northwestern quadrant of Spain. Wolves are controversial because of the conflicts with livestock and are, therefore, culled in some areas of Spain. Their great adaptability and high reproductive potential allow the sustainable wolf harvest as a game species. However, the wolf is a symbol for different sectors of the public, which complicates wolf hunting regulations and its management. This article describes wolf management in the different Spanish autonomous regions and the ecological, social and administrative factors involved in the wolf conflict. Through a literature review, I discuss the role of hunting and wolf tourism in rural development, and I introduce the current debate on whether hunting improves the perception of the wolf and reduces poaching and damage to livestock.

“…Two papers discuss attitudes and policies related to non-compliance; Kahler and Gore (2015) examine perceived poaching related risk in Namibia and Browne-Nuñez et al (2015) use focus groups and anonymous questionnaires concerning wolves in the U.S. Two papers focus on management and policy related to fisheries. Lewis (2015) examines the effectiveness of management interventions with the red abalone fishery in the U.S. using the randomized response technique and Sjöstedt and Sundström (2015) provide perspective on institutional arrangements in South Africa and Namibia.…”

a b s t r a c tThis paper establishes the context for the special issue, ''Detecting and Understanding Violations of Conservation Rules''. Illicit or non-compliant human behaviors may occur in all ecosystems and range from subsistence illegal resource collection to poaching by organized criminal syndicates. Such acts have an enormous impact on social-ecological systems, but monitoring non-compliance is challenging, primarily because the topic is sensitive and victims are voiceless. The future of many conservation areas depends upon compliance with conservation rules. However, with a growing human population, consumptive societies, and rapid expansion of business opportunities fueled by new technology, there is little doubt that demand will remain steady or increase for many of our natural resources. We outline major conservation compliance issues and impacts, and review models and methods used to monitor and respond to the problem for both subsistence and commercial non-compliance.

“…For a pertinent example, after wolf-killing had been legalized or made easier (liberalized), wolf population growth in two U.S. states slowed over and above the number of wolves killed (Chapron and Treves, 2016a,b), notwithstanding a lively debate (Chapron and Treves, 2017a,b;Olson et al, 2017;Pepin et al, 2017;Stien, 2017). Four separate lead authors studying different datasets about the same Wisconsin wolf control system have now inferred that poaching rates or intentions rose with liberalized wolfkilling policies (Browne-Nuñez et al, 2015;Hogberg et al, 2015;Chapron and Treves, 2017a,b). Also, disappearances of radiocollared wolves rose substantially when liberalized killing policies were in place, in a competing risks framework (Treves, 2019a) citing (Santiago-Ávila, 2019).…”

Predator Control Needs a Standard of Unbiased Randomized Experiments With Cross-Over Design

Rapid, global changes, such as extinction and climate change, put a premium on evidence-based, environmental policies and interventions, including predator control efforts. Lack of solid scientific evidence precludes strong inference about responses of predators, people, and prey of both, to various types of predator control. Here we formulate two opposing hypotheses with possible underlying mechanisms and propose experiments to test four pairs of opposed predictions about responses of predators, domestic animals, and people in a coupled, dynamic system. We outline the design of a platinum-standard experiment, namely randomized, controlled experiment with cross-over design and multiple steps to blind measurement, analysis, and peer review to avoid pervasive biases. The gold-standard has been proven feasible in field experiments with predators and livestock, so we call for replicating that across the world on different methods of predator control, in addition to striving for an even higher standard that can improve reproducibility and reliability of the science of predator control.
