Passage 1:
Sometimes humans and animals come into conflict with each other. This can threaten people's livelihoods and also threaten the animals' lives. In central Namibia, farmers have a problem with cheetahs. The cheetahs prey on the baby cows (calves). In turn, the farmers often try to kill the wild cats in order to protect their cattle! Wouldn't it be great if we could study the situation and find a solution that suits both the farmers and the cheetahs? This is what we did with our research. We tracked the cheetah's behavior. We noticed that the cheetahs did not move their area to go after the calves. We thought that if the farmers kept their groups of cows with calves in certain areas, and not in others, they could avoid cheetah attacks. The farmers took our advice. They then compared the number of calves killed by cheetahs before and after these changes. So, did our advice work? Yes! The farmers observed a significant reduction in calves killed by cheetahs. This could prevent farmers from losing their valuable livestock and stop them from trying to kill the cheetahs. Looking for solutions based on animal behavior could work for other species too. Can you think of any human-wildlife conflicts in your area? And do you think they could be solved without the animals being harmed or killed?
