Research overview: camera-trap density estimation in conflict landscapes
OverviewThis overview reviews the application of camera-trap surveys and spatially explicit capture-recapture methods to estimate big-cat density in human-dominated and conflict-prone landscapes. It synthesis…
Research overview: comparative analysis of coexistence successes and failures
OverviewThis overview synthesises comparative studies that contrast successful and unsuccessful big-cat coexistence efforts to distil transferable lessons. It reviews analyses spanning lion, snow leopard, tig…
Research overview: design and pitfalls of livestock-depredation compensation schemes
OverviewThis overview synthesises the theory and practice of compensating farmers for livestock killed by big cats as a tolerance-building tool. It reviews recurring design challenges: verifying claims to pre…
Research overview: distance to forest edge as a predictor of depredation
OverviewThis overview synthesises the widely replicated finding that proximity to forest or natural cover strongly predicts big-cat depredation on livestock, with attacks declining as distance from the forest…

OverviewThis overview synthesises research on how individual big cats develop man-eating behaviour, integrating evidence from Tsavo lions, Sundarbans and Champawat tigers, and Indian leopards. It reviews the…
Research overview: landscape and husbandry predictors of livestock depredation
OverviewThis overview synthesises studies identifying which landscape and management variables predict where big cats kill livestock, a recurring quantitative question across conflict research. It reviews con…
Research overview: mapping attack hotspots to target conflict mitigation
OverviewThis overview synthesises research using spatial analysis to identify hotspots where big-cat attacks on livestock or people concentrate, enabling targeted mitigation. It reviews methods, kernel densit…
Research overview: media framing of big-cat attacks and its conservation effects
OverviewThis overview synthesises research on how news and social media portray big-cat attacks and conflict, and how that framing shapes public attitudes, fear, and policy. It reviews studies showing that se…

OverviewThis overview examines the persistent gap between perceived and actual risk in human-big cat conflict, a theme cutting across lion, tiger, leopard, puma, and jaguar systems. It synthesises research sh…
Research overview: snaring, bushmeat trade, and incidental big-cat mortality
OverviewThis overview reviews how wire snaring set for bushmeat indirectly drives big-cat conflict and mortality, a growing threat across Africa and Asia. It synthesises evidence that snares intended for ante…
Research overview: social identity and intergroup dimensions of carnivore conflict
OverviewThis overview synthesises research showing that much apparent human-carnivore conflict is in fact conflict between human groups, communities versus conservation authorities, locals versus outsiders, e…
