Since human–wildlife interrelations take place on many levels, it would be desirable to illustrate the breadth of topics and phenomena. Fortunately, there seems to be a paradigm shift from an anthropocentric perspective on “conflicts” to more empathetic approaches that give greater importance to the “wildlife side of the coin”. In light of rapidly transforming landscapes, effective concepts and tools are needed to address the consequences of human resource use and habitat demands as well as the environmental requirements of wildlife. At the same time, it is important to understand and adequately capture the ecological plasticity of different species in order to understand the adaptability of humans and non-human species to a rapidly changing world.
Dr. Thomas Göttert
