== Human–wildlife conflict (HWC) refers to the negative interactions between humans and wild animals, with undesirable consequences both for people and their resources on the one hand, and wildlife and their habitats on the other. ==

Ahh... a 'hinge of mans understanding' of the present Human-Wildlife Conflict is not defined by, or in, just various agricultural conflict concerns, or that dangerous animals continue prey on man is the only human-wildlife conflict. This is so simplistic, and also naive, if you believe mans killing intentionally, or un-intended of any animal is not a similar cause of conflict for the animal species. If you actually read the the various HWC definitions (WWF)...this referenced as so one sided for man's dominance; as if any animal accepts their populations demise and habitat loss without it being a conflict for their needs? Man's hunting, past or present, can and does have negative impacts on the species, but Game Mgrs. attempt to offset/change harvests when the population numbers decline due to: overhunting, disease, or starvation of the animal. As Aldo Leopold saw the 'green fire die' in the wolfs eye...humans exterminate what they fear...even if NOT the cause of an economic loss to their crops, domestic animals, etc. Humans have always killed what they fear, senseless at times. Humans cause the GREATER of depredation on the wild animal populations everywhere on the planet. The death of ~30+ million buffalo, either by (prehistoric buffalo jump) or measured today still left an undesireable consequence for the species - as fewer remain in the areas - now habitated by humans instead of the species. Am I to believe that the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety estimate of one and a half million deer-vehicle collisions resulting in millions of DEAD deer is not a conflict with their own existance? Ohh.. and 440 humans died as a result of the human-wildlife (deer) specific conflicts alone last year. Atlas264 (talk) 21:53, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Please note the Wildlife Vehicle Conflict definition ... "with undesirable consequences for both people and their resources on one hand, and WILDLIFE and their habitats on the other. Roads-highways  and a humans desire for their mobility are the greatest source of Human-wildlife conflicts globally ---as man's roadway networks fragment the wild animal resources and fragment the wildlife habitats. Those wounded, or deceased (prey species) animals that die in an negative interaction with humans...ie...poaching, vehicle strikes, (AVC Animal Vehicle Collisions, OR WVC Wildlife Vehicle Collisions) will find little consolence in places likes "The Wildlife Conflict Center", Lander or Buffalo WY, ...or Kingsville TX, etc.  BUT the greatest Human-wildlife conflicts can be seen the roadway isolated animal populations..... BIRTH DEFECTs.....   All the scholarly references exist.... but then I knew you already knew that in a review of your 'editing'. Atlas264 (talk) 00:51, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
