You are cordially invited to a talk titled
*Seeking coexistence: human-predator conflict*
by
*Euan Ritchie*
*Associate Professor, Deakin University*
Date & Time: September 23, 2019 at 03:45 pm
Venue: ATREE Auditorium
------------------------------
*Abstract*
Large carnivores are captivating, awe inspiring, and ecologically critical
for the health of ecosystems globally. These same animals can also be
dangerous, and in some contexts they pose a genuine threat to human assets
and/or safety. Human-large carnivore conflict often results in predators
being killed or excluded from large areas, contributing to the significant
population and geographic decline of many species. In this talk, I will
briefly discuss the ecological importance of large carnivores, using marine
and terrestrial examples from around the world. Most of my talk will
however focus on the nature and reasons for conflict in different regions,
and more broadly what steps we could take to assist human-large carnivore
coexistence in our rapidly change world.
