Factors influencing perceptions of conflict and tolerance toward cheetahs on Namibian farmlands

Article Abstract:

Research indicates that the introduction of educational materials has helped alleviate the perception of cheetahs as pests by Namibian farmers, resulting in a significant drop in cheetah killings between 1991 and 1999. Economic incentives and management strategies are key to farmer participation in cheetah conservation.
