Sommario/riassunto |
|
In a rapidly changing climate, understanding the complex interactions between humans and wildlife is crucial for fostering coexistence. This book offers an in-depth analysis of how climate change exacerbates conflicts between local communities and wildlife in the Buxa Tiger Reserve. Through historical insights, current challenges, and community narratives, it reveals the adaptive strategies employed by villagers and their unintended consequences on wildlife. Readers will gain valuable insights into the cascading effects of these conflicts and find evidence-based policy recommendations aimed at promoting sustainable and harmonious coexistence. Essential for conservationists, policymakers, and anyone interested in sustainable development, this book provides practical solutions for mitigating human-wildlife conflicts in the face of climate change.
