(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)This study assesses the patterns of crop damage by elephants Loxodonta africana in areas adjacent to the Rungwa, Kizigo and Muhesi Game Reserves in Tanzania. We used a questionnaire survey to collect data from a total of ... -
Human-Wildlife Conflicts and Compensation for Losses in Kenya: Dynamics, Characteristics and Correlates
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2019:164, Doctoral thesis, 2019)Human-wildlife conflict (HWC) is a common phenomenon around the world and occurs when resource use by humans overlaps with that of wildlife resulting in competition. The major factor exacerbating this situation is human ... -
Human-wildlife conflicts and their correlates in Narok County, Kenya
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Human-wildlife conflicts (HWC) are often caused by human population increase, high livestock and wildlife population densities and changing land use and climate. These conflicts are typically most intense in human-dominated ... -

(NINA rapport;85, Research report, 2005)The Serengeti-Mara ecosystem constitutes one of the last great migratory systems in Africa and supports the highest concentrations of large predators in the world. The health of the ecosystem, as judged by fundamental ... -
Human–elephant coexistence challenges in Myanmar: An analysis of fatal elephant attacks on humans and elephant mortality
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Understanding the underlying causes behind human–elephant conflict (HEC)-driven mortality of humans and elephants will help improve both parties’ wellbeing. The objective of this study was to examine the temporal and spatial ... -
Hunting for ecological indicators: are large herbivore skeleton measures from harvest data useful proxies for monitoring?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Hunter-collected data and samples are used as indices of population performance, and monitoring programs often take advantage of such data as ecological indicators. Here, we establish the relationships between measures of ... -
