Troublesome neighbours: Changing attitudes towards chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) in human-dominated landscape in Uganda

Long-term human-wildlife sympatry depends on the willingness and capacity of local peope to coexist with wild animals. With human population growth and deforestation for agriculture, farmers increasingly live in proximity to wildlife, including large mammals of conservation concern. Understanding local perspectives and concerns regarding wildlife is essential for informing appropriate management strategies that reduce conflicts and promote sustainable coexistence. Social science approaches therefore have a critical role in integrated conservation programmes. We undertook an attitude survey to understand residents' perspectives about sharing a landscape with chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) in an unprotected forest-agriculture mosaic in Uganda. Interviews (n=134) in 12 villages demonstrate residents' ambivalence towards living alongside these protected yet potentially troublesome mammals.
