SUPPORTING WORKING LANDS AND WILDLIFE WITH THE FOUR C’s: POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE CONFLICT REDUCTION CONSORTIUM
The Conflict Reduction Consortium’s holistic approach to mitigating conflict with large carnivores ensures the long-term sustainability of both wildlife and people. The Four C’s (Collaboration, Conflict Reduction, Compensation, and Control) are our recommended “tools” for the conflict reduction “toolbox”. We describe each tool and provide federal policy recommendations for each.
WORKING ACROSS THE RURAL-URBAN DIVIDE: MESSAGING FOR LARGE CARNIVORE CONFLICT REDUCTION DOCUMENT
This document highlights words and terms commonly used in large carnivore conflict reduction that may be interpreted differently in rural and urban communities. We provide important context for each term, and for some suggest alternatives, to better communication between diverse audiences.
BUILDING TRUST: A GUIDE FOR AGENCIES WORKING WITH PRODUCERS TO REDUCE WILDLIFE CONFLICTS
Wildlife conflict on working lands can strain relationships between livestock producers and wildlife agencies, making trust crucial for conflict resolution and effective resource management. These recommendations, based on input from producers, agency staff, and experts across the western U.S., aim to help agencies and other groups build trust with producers while managing wildlife conflict. Recommendations are organized for agency field staff and leadership, but are relevant across roles.
