1094 Words5 Pages

Since humans started to inhabit the earth and proceeded to dominate, there has been conflict between our species and the wild animals that we share our biosphere with. Many animals have become domesticated to fit around our way of life; however, it is the wild animals that mesmerise us while also posing the most significant threat. This essay will aim to discuss the ‘human-animal conflict’ and what methods are being put in place to minimise the encounters and risks associated with wild animals and human populations.
