Departmental faculty publish article on managing human-wildlife conflict in South Africa

Professors Brandon Anthony and Alexios Antypas of the Department of Environmental Sciences & Policy recently published an evaluation of managing human-wildlife conflict along Kruger National Park's (South Africa) western border. The problems of wildlife escaping from the park and depredating on crops and livestock in the area has had major effects on local livelihoods and is undermining the legitimacy of conservation agencies in the area. The article was published in the latest issue of the Conservation and Society journal and can be accessed at http://www.conservationandsociety.org/text.asp?2010/8/3/225/73812
