Abstract
In this issue of Human-Wildlife Interactions, our authors provide keen, powerful insights based on global research involving human interactions with amphibians, bears, birds, canids, amphibians, and ungulates Adult bison can weigh >900 kg and run >50 kph [ ]the U S National Park Service has recommended that visitors stay at least 20-25 m away from wild animals like bison and elk (Cervus canadensis) and 90 m away from bears (Ursus spp ) and other carnivores Not understanding wild animal behavior, coupled with an inability to judge what constitutes a safe distance when using our smartphone to capture our wildlife encounter, can be a recipe for disaster
期刊介绍:
Human–Wildlife Interactions (HWI) serves the professional needs of the wildlife biologist and manager in the arena of human–wildlife conflicts/interactions, wildlife damage management, and contemporary wildlife management. The intent of HWI is to publish original contributions on all aspects of contemporary wildlife management and human–wildlife interactions with an emphasis on scientific research and management case studies that identify and report innovative conservation strategies, technologies, tools, and partnerships that can enhance human–wildlife interactions by mitigating human–wildlife conflicts through direct and indirect management of wildlife and increased stakeholder engagement. Our intent is to promote a dialogue among wildlife professionals concerning contemporary management issues. As such, we hope to provide a repository for wildlife management science and case studies that document and share manager experiences and lessons learned.
