Abstract:

This survey attempt to quantify the incidence of human-crocodile conflicts (as form of humanwildlife conflicts) in the three perennial rivers namely: Kunene River, Okavango River and the four Zambezi River channels. These are the three river systems in Namibia that are most affected by human-wildlife conflicts. The survey further examine the perspective of local people who use these rivers on HWC, by unpacking the root causes of conflicts and identifying methods to mitigate HWC in the future. It also looked at the incidence of human-wildlife conflict trends and evaluate the effectiveness of the existing mitigation measures to reduce the HWC. The main objective of the survey is then to strengthen the existing mitigation measures used to reduce the human-crocodile conflicts and as well as to obtain data on the incidences.
