From Human-Wildlife Conflict to Coexistence: Exploring Solutions to a Global Challenge at the Nexus of Conservation and Development
Venue: MDB Pavilion in Blue Zone
When: 23 October, 18.00-19.15 PM
Human-wildlife conflict is an increasing development challenge and poses an existential threat to big cats, elephants and other threatened species. Achieving coexistence, in line with Target 4 of the GBF, starts with people. This event will showcase how Indigenous Peoples and local communities are increasing the value of living with wildlife while reducing the costs. Diverse case studies will illustrate how landscape approaches and community-led conservation work together to recover iconic species, deliver local development outcomes, and promote coexistence between people and wildlife. This event is in partnership with the GEF-financed, World Bank-led Global Wildlife Program, ADB, the Global Snow Leopard Ecosystem Protection Program (GSLEP), Panthera, TRAFFIC, UNDP, WCS, WWF and ZSL.
