Human-wildlife conflict or human-human conflict?

The framing of ‘human-wildlife conflict’ naturalises the problem, obscures the political choices that produce it and shields powerful conservation actors from scrutiny.

On July 5, an elephant smashed a house, killing a mother and her four-year-old son in Chitwan. Separately, in Mustang, a snow leopard killed 28 sheep and yaks. In Palpa, when a woman went to inspect her farm in the afternoon, she found that a troop of monkeys had stripped the cobs in her entire field.
