However, the issue of human-wildlife conflict has far-reaching implications beyond wildlife and the communities immediately affected by it. Human\u2013wildlife conflict focuses on interactions between wildlife and humans, with human\u2013wildlife coexistence strongly linked and important for <a href=\"https:\/\/technotiming.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sustainable development activities<\/a>. If not managed effectively, human-wildlife conflict has the potential to negatively impact these activities and conservation more widely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_is_affected_by_human-wildlife_conflict_and_how\"><\/span><strong>Who is affected by human-wildlife conflict and how?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Wildlife and the communities living around it are most directly affected by human-wildlife conflict. While human-wildlife conflict can result in species decline and possible extinction, communities may suffer financial losses and threats to health and safety, livelihoods, food security and property. The costs of living with wildlife are unevenly distributed and fall disproportionately on communities that often face systemic barriers and have incomes well below the poverty line and access to few economic opportunities, while the <a href=\"https:\/\/technotiming.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">global community<\/a> benefits from healthy wildlife populations and a healthy ecosystem.

In addition to directly harming communities, human-wildlife conflict indirectly affects people around the world through pressure on global supply chains and the production of agricultural commodities, leading to food insecurity and <a href=\"https:\/\/technotiming.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reduced productivity<\/a> among producers.
