Human-Elephant Conflict: A Review of Current Management Strategies and Future Directions is a paper by L. Jen Shaffer, Kapil K. Khadka, Jamon Van Den Hoek and Kusum J. Naithani in January 2019. The paper reviews current management strategies for human-elephant conflict and proposes future directions. The article discusses how human-elephant conflict is a major conservation concern in elephant range countries and how current prevention strategies offer only short-term solutions. The authors propose an interdisciplinary conceptual approach to manage species coexistence over the long-term, which includes shared resource use between humans and elephants at different spatial and temporal scales. The article also highlights the importance of including anthropological and geographical knowledge to find sustainable solutions to managing human-elephant conflict.
