This document is a useful resource meant to answer some of the most basic questions that community members might have on human–wildlife conflict (HWC), including how to prevent it, as well as information about compensation eligibility and processes for when HWC does occur. It was produced by the Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programm as part of the Community Conservancy Project in the Kavango–Zambezi (KAZA) Transfrontier, Conservation Area.The SWM Programme is a major international initiative that aims to improve the conservation and sustainable use of wildlife in forest, savannah and wetland ecosystems. It is funded by the European Union with co-funding from the French Facility for Global Environment (FFEM) and the French Development Agency (AFD). Projects are being piloted and tested with governments, national partners and communities in 16 participating countries. The initiative is coordinated by a dynamic consortium of four partners, namely the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the Center for International Forestry Research and World Agroforestry (CIFOR-ICRAF), the French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development (CIRAD) and the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS).
