Module 9: Development of Policy Instruments

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Human - Wildlife Conflicts in Europe

Part of the book series: Environmental Science and Engineering ((ENVSCIENCE))

Abstract

In phase 3, natural and social scientific results from phase 2, modules 2–6 (assessment and analysis of the conflict), are integrated in order to design and implement conflict resolution strategies. Module 9 deals with the evaluation of policy instruments in terms of their effectiveness, their cost-effectiveness, their perception by stakeholders, and their potential for including relevant actors in wildlife decision making. If none or few instruments are present, new policies addressing the human-wildlife conflict need to be developed. Wildlife conflict resolution policies ideally are a policy mix consisting of species conservation and derogation measures, economic instruments, and action directed at civil society.
