Descripción de la sesión
This session traces the pathway from conservation success to coexistence in human-dominated landscapes. Gray N. Thornton presents the reintroduction of desert bighorn sheep to Franklin Mountains State Park, Texas, demonstrating a successful species restoration achieved through multi-sectoral collaboration. The IUCN Human-Wildlife Conflict Specialist Group then highlights their knowledge of one of the most pressing issues associated with thriving or reintroduced wildlife populations and speaks to their role as the impartial think tank and advisory body. We then explore a case study from Mozambique where people and wildlife coexist by balancing biodiversity and community goals. Antonio Alverca presents the Protected Farming Communities initiative, which reduces elephant crop raids, safeguards food security, and integrates proactive conflict management. Together, these case studies demonstrate how restoration, careful management, and community-led solutions create landscapes where wildlife thrives and people live safely and sustainably.Organised by
