Where humans and wildlife coexist, conflicts are part of the interactions between the two groups. While ecological and economic aspects of human-wildlife conflicts have been extensively researched, social dimensions commonly receive less attention. In their recent paper, Jiren et al. (2021) introduce a step-by-step template for how to use participatory scenario planning to address human-wildlife coexistence. Their framework allows stakeholders to jointly identify plausible future trajectories for their region and develop management responses by engaging in a transdisciplinary process. The authors illustrate the application of their template with the help of a case study in the Zambezi region of Namibia. There, growing wildlife populations and human encroachment resulted in an intensification of human-wildlife conflicts over the last few decades.
