Human-wildlife conflict is a major global wildlife conservation concern. The crop-raiding component of it is of particular concern especially because it mainly affects rural small-scale farmers whose livelihoods depend entirely on crop farming. Reconciling the needs of farmers and those of crop raiding wildlife is a significant conservation challenge. However, the nature of conflicts between people and wildlife at local levels is not fully understood.
