6/6 #HumWild1 #DICECON20 ๐ to supervisors @tanyahumle & @RuthKansky & to @DICE_Kent for funding. ๐ to @ruffordgrants & @elephantfamily for funding our 2021 research with @STzElephants to use the WTM to determine factors influencing tolerance of local๐ฅ towards ๐in Tanzania ๐น๐ฟ.
Great presentation on current threats to primates. So many primates heavily threatened globally. Time to re-assess how protect their habitats from unsustainable human growth
#DICECON20 #HumWild1
1/6 #HumWild1 #DICECON20 One of the greatest (and sometimes overlooked) threats to primates is that of transportation & service corridors: roads, railways, power lines, oil-gas-water pipelines, seismic exploration lines, and aerial tramways. What is the extent of their impact?
5/6 #HumWild1 #DICECON20 Interim results: ๐ฌ๐ง๐ฅ are more tolerant towards living with ๐ than ๐ฅ from ๐ฟ๐ฒ&๐ณ๐ฆ, suggesting: ๐ฌ๐ง๐ฅ are not able to fully comprehend African realities & more awareness is needed around their influence on African wildlife policies. Tolerance drivers TBD ๐
4/6 #HumWild1 #DICECON20 We used the Wildlife Tolerance Model (WTM) by @RuthKansky as the framework to define tolerance & identify drivers of tolerance & hypothesised that ๐ฌ๐ง public would be more tolerant than ๐ฟ๐ฒ & ๐ณ๐ฆ to living with ๐.
3/6 #HumWild1 #DICECON20 Using the UK ๐ฌ๐ง public as a proxy for the global north, we asked them to imagine living with #elephants in ๐ฌ๐ง & compared their imagined tolerance to that of communities ๐ฅ living with elephants๐ in Zambia ๐ฟ๐ฒ & Namibia ๐ณ๐ฆ
2/6 #HumWild1 #DICECON20 eg. NGOs from the North, lobby against Sthn African policy of promoting #coexistence through sustainable wildlife use. For policies to be relevant in the global south, influencers should put themselves in the shoes of local ๐ฅto understand their realities
1/6 #HumWild1 #DICECON20 Governments and NGOs from the global north have had substantial influence over wildlife policies across Africa โ so how does this impact local communities who live & farm alongside wildlife? ๐ฆ๐๐ ๐ช ๐ฝ #HumanWildlifeCoexistence #HumanWildlifeConflict
@KSAfricaHack Absolutely, conservation training motivate people to protect widlife as their own and not for the government neither NGOs #DICECON20 #COEXISTENCE #Humwild1
@BigBarbaryCat Yes generally young individuals are very positive in conservation compared to old people #DICECON20 #COEXISTENCE #Humwild1
1/6 Welcome to my #DICECON20 Presentation entitled:
โOnline Monitoring of Global Attitudes Towards Wildlifeโ
I will start by acknowledging my co-authors @josswright and @FisheriesRobert
And here is PREPRINT https://t.co/h5ELlxCNnW in case you want to follow along! #HumWild1

Useful to see how a focused systematic review based on a reasonable hypothesis flushes out species impacted by a threat missed in species specific reviews. Good use of a systematic review. Which were the biggest surprises ? #HumWild1 #DICECON20 @GaleaEcology
4/6 #HumWild1 #DICECON20 Results so far show that the impact of transportation & service corridors on primates has been underestimated. Many more species have been shown to be threatened by them than are listed by the @IUCNRedList (just 92 species). Lots of knowledge gaps exist.

5/6 #HumWild1 #DICECON20 A disproportionate level of attention is given to certain species and regions. The effectiveness of proposed or implemented mitigation measures are rarely evaluated, whilst it is clear that there is rarely ever a straightforward solution for any species.

3/6 #HumWild1 #DICECON20 Thus far, over 270 studies have been reviewed (with many more to go). Results show that primates are impacted by transportation & service corridors throughout their entire global range: Africa, Madagascar, Asia, South America, and even Gibraltar!
Fascinating research in Kenya on #HumanLionConflict and #Coexistence by my classmate @LMaamai #HumWild1 ๐ฆ
My study signifies hopes in conservation if government agencies and conservation practitioners involves local people in major decision making for sustainable conservation that support people and widlife interactions #Lion #Coexistence #Welling #DICECON20 #humanwild1
2/6 #HumWild1 #DICECON20 We systematically reviewed (๐ฐ๐๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐น๐ ๐ถ๐ป ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ด๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐!) all available relevant research, both peer-reviewed and grey, to uncover the extent of their impact, the diversity and effectiveness of mitigation measures, and gaps in knowledge.
