| The resources on this page are
focused on the conflicts that large carnivores cause with human
interests. These include depredation on domestic livestock and the
destruction of beehives. In addition, large carnivores often induce fear in
people who are not accustomed to living with them.
The resources describe the conflicts, and outline possible solutions.
