Why attend
Learn about the IUCN SSC Guidelines on Human-Wildlife Conflict and Coexistence!
Session Description
In response to the resolution WCC-2020-Res-101-EN Addressing human-wildlifeconflict: fostering a safe and beneficial coexistence of people and wildlife from the previous World
Conservation Congress, the IUCN SSC Human-Wildlife Conflict and Coexistence Group developed the
first-ever Guidelines on Human-Wildlife Conflict and Coexistence. Published in 2023, the Guidelines
provide essential foundations and principles for good practice, with clear, practical guidance on how
best to manage conflicts and enable coexistence with wildlife. They have been developed for use by
conservation practitioners, community leaders, decision makers, researchers, government officers
and others. This session will provide an opportunity for attendees to learn about the process that went into the preparation of this comprehensive document, its structure and content, and to chat with some of the authors of the publication.
