Wildlife and Society: The Science of Human Dimensions is a timely and important book focusing on the well-established field of human dimensions and natural resource management. A lucid and pragmatic book, with contributions from the leaders in the field, it makes clear and valid reasons for understanding the importance of people and their relationships to fish and wildlife. In particular, it is asserted that ?we need information on the who, what, where, when and why for all those interested in or affected by natural resource decisions anytime we are allocating and managing natural resources? (Brown, p.6).read more

Human–Wildlife Conflict and Coexistence
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarize and synthesize factors that contribute to conflict, approaches that mitigate conflict and encourage coexistence, and emerging trends and debates in the field of conservation and coexistence.
Linking social and ecological systems
TL;DR: In this article, Morse et al. explored the linkage between the ecological and social systems of urban landscapes and examined two metrics (sense of place and land cover) that have been used to integrate social and ecological systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
The empty forest revisited.
TL;DR: If tropical forest ecosystems are to survive, the threat of unsustainable hunting must be adequately addressed now, and effective legislation and enforcement along with a failure of decision makers to address the threats of hunting is fanning the fire of a tropical forest extinction crisis.

TL;DR: A framework for rewilding actions that can serve as a guideline for researchers and managers and aims to promote beneficial interactions between society and nature, and identifies trophic complexity, stochastic disturbances, and dispersal as three critical components of natural ecosystem dynamics.

Key factors driving attitudes towards large mammals in conflict with humans
TL;DR: This article conducted a meta-analysis of the variables predicted to drive attitudes of people living in areas with damage causing carnivores, ungulates, elephants and primates so as to determine if common patterns of variables are present across a wide range of contexts.
