The authors present a dynamic, spatially-driven framework for a powerful three-pronged conservation strategy to safeguard vital habitats and movement corridors, reduce livestock depredation in high-risk zones and conflict hotspots, and restore fragmented landscapes to enhance ecological connectivity. It is an opportunity for policy makers to utilize relevant data in their decision-making process to harmonize human-wildlife coexistence.
Dr. Nanni is a part of the Global Land Programme (GLP) Global Research Network of Future Earth. Her interest is understanding the consequences of human activities on medium-large mammal conservation, and the social-ecological factors that affect human-wildlife coexistence in different SES of Latin America, with focus on the South American Chaco. Her research focuses on co-designing strategies fostering coexistence and biodiversity conservation that are aligned with the interests, needs and possibilities of the people sharing the land with wildlife. Dr. Nanni is a Researcher at the Instituto de Ecología Regional (UNT‐CONICET) Tucumán Argentina and Facultad de Ciencias Naturales e IML Universidad Nacional de Tucumán.
