PEOPLE & PRIMATES: A BIO-GEO-CULTURAL APPROACH TO UNDERSTANDING HUMAN-WILDLIFE INTERACTION
REFNo: NS120ES

We use a multidisciplinary bio-geo-cultural approach to examine the causes and consequences of perceived costs and benefits of human-wildlife interaction in different ecological and cultural settings to ultimately improve protection of biodiversity through mitigation of human-wildlife conflict (HWC) and sustained engagement with local communities at Lake Nabugabo, Uganda and Lewa-Borana Conservancy, Kenya. Specifically, our objectives are to: I) explore the role of landscape characteristics and ecological factors in understanding the behaviour and movement of vervet monkeys, II) evaluate community perceptions of wildlife and research in two villages in Uganda (Bbaale & Bukakata) and one in Kenya (Manyangalo), III) compare community perceptions of crop damage caused by wildlife to objective measurements of crop-foraging behaviour, and IV) develop community-relationships to facilitate long-term sociocultural and biological research on human-wildlife interaction and promote conservation via community outreach.
