Course Overview
HWCC courses draw upon the best practices for addressing complex conservation conflicts and cultivating sustainable conservation solutions. Employing principles and strategies identified and developed by the Human-Wildlife Conflict Collaboration, participants will design and implement a Conservation Conflict Intervention Plan (CCIP) individually tailored for their respective field site or other professional focus. They will develop a community of practice around conservation conflict resolution, using a common language to investigate conflict dilemmas, a shared set of tools and approaches to analyze and address conflict, and a community of resource professionals who can continue to provide mutual support in addressing conflict in their efforts to conserve wildlife and wild places.
