A Comprehensive Study of Human-Carnivore Conflict Mitigation and Prevention Measures in Queen Elizabeth National Park’s Unique Context of Human and Large Carnivore Ecology
REFNo: NS309ES

The following management-driven research proposal seeks to investigate human-carnivore conflict challenges in Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda through five interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary retro- and prospective studies (conservation sociology, community ecology, ecosystem services, wildlife ecology, and conservation biology) in the hopes of making informed, integrated, and strategic mitigation and prevention efforts. This includes 1) a compound cost-benefit analysis of fencing as a human-carnivore conflict (HCC) prevention and carnivore conservation measure; 2) a critical review of Uganda Carnivore Program’s (UCP) carnivore conflict mitigation and prevention efforts (with special emphasis on safe husbandry, experiential tourism, and compensation of genuine losses); 3) a brief review of large carnivore ecology, its resources needs, and current impacts of anthropogenic activity on large carnivore viability in Queen Elizabeth National Park; 4) competition-strategies and tactics of human ecology with wildlife ecology in Queen Elizabeth National Park and its impacts on ecosystem productivity and services; and 5) a critical cultural context review of local custodianship concepts vis-à-vis integrated management approaches (Resource Sharing Agreements, compensation, livelihood support etc.).
