Human–wildlife conflict (HWC) presents an ongoing challenge not only to biodiversity conservation but also to sustainable development and human well-being. It reflects complex interactions between wildlife and people—interactions shaped by environmental, historical, political, and socio-cultural dynamics.
To support conservation managers and officials in effectively addressing these challenges, I offer tailored, on-site training programs on holistic and integrated HWC management, which can be combined with on-site consultancy, strategy development support, action planning, and followed up by online coaching of core teams.
My trainings are grounded in a comprehensive framework that integrates six interlinked strategies:
- Legal frameworks and spatial planning as the foundation,
- Social strategies—such as inclusive stakeholder engagement and well-designed institutional processes—as the core,
- Technical and financial strategies as operational tools,
- Monitoring as a guiding mechanism for adaptive management and informed decision-making.
This approach goes beyond technical fixes, emphasizing the importance of participatory processes and the broader social and political context in which conflicts unfold.
What to Expect
Our trainings are customized to your specific ecological and social context and may include:
- Conflict driver analysis and gap assessments,
- Technical skill-building,
- Participatory strategy development,
- On-site consultancy and action planning,
- Continued support through online coaching for core teams.
Whether you're managing protected areas, advising policy, or leading community engagement, this training equips you with the tools to foster long-term human–wildlife coexistence.
Interested individuals, teams and institutions are welcome to contact me directly via email for more information or to discuss tailored training options.
