This joint report between the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and WWF released on 8th July 2021 with titled 'A future for all - the need for human-wildlife coexistence', reveals that globally conflict-related killing affects more than 75% of the world’s wild cat species as well as many other terrestrial and marine carnivore species such as polar bears and Mediterranean monk seals, and large herbivores such as elephants.
Human-wildlife conflict is as much a development and humanitarian issue as it is a conservation concern affecting the income of farmers, fishers, and Indigenous peoples particularly those living in poverty and without resilience; interfering with access to water for communities competing with wildlife for local water sources.
