20.500.12556/RUL-114210 Carnivore conservation needs evidence-based livestock protection Carnivore predation on livestock often leads people to retaliate. Persecution by humans has contributed strongly to global endangerment of carnivores. Preventing livestock losses would help to achieve three goals common to many human societies: preserve nature, protect animal welfare, and safeguard human livelihoods. Between 2016 and 2018, four independent reviews evaluated >40 years of research on lethal and nonlethal interventions for reducing predation on livestock. From 114 studies, we find a striking conclusion: scarce quantitative comparisons of interventions and scarce comparisons against experimental controls preclude strong inference about the effectiveness of methods. For wise investment of public resources in protecting livestock and carnivores, evidence of effectiveness should be a prerequisite to policy making or large-scale funding of any method or, at a minimum, should be measured during implementation. An appropriate evidence base is needed, and we recommend a coalition of scientists and managers be formed to establish and encourage use of consistent standards in future experimental evaluations. livestock carnivory livestock care scientists predation conservation science science policy wolves mesojedci zaščita živali zaščita živine predatorji true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2020-02-19 13:39:14 2020-02-19 13:39:14 2025-05-07 15:32:17 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2018 0 0 8 str. iss. 9, art. e2005577 Vol. 16 2018 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 630*1 1545-7885 10.1371/journal.pbio.2005577 5196454 2943764 file_(1).pdf file_(1).pdf 1 AD42F524EC104857EA708319473AE23B d00dc025f3968f903689756c49360bfbb85e3b022b2ff7c3b02d9380c8ad846e 55d8feef-1b78-11f0-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=209050 https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.2005577 0 50ba9989-1b78-11f0-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=209049 Biotehniška fakulteta 0 0 0
