Summary
Human–wildlife interactions are a growing conservation concern globally, challenging individuals’ and society’s interest. Some interactions are conflictual, other show tolerance and others demonstrate coexistence. To shift our collective relationship with wildlife towards coexistence, we must find common ground despite different human relationships with and perspectives on wildlife. This requires successfully integrating the knowledge and practices that shape human wildlife interactions. We examine the 150-mile Red Desert to Hoback mule deer migration— the longest large mammal migration in the lower forty-eight US states. Human–wildlife interaction zones along the route include highway crossings, narrow bottlenecks on private ranch land and parcels available for energy leasing, each with the potential to exacerbate conflict or advance coexistence. Drawing on fieldwork and our experience with human–wildlife interactions across a wide range of species and situations, we offer a framework to classify issues, ground our views in the human assumptions and responsibilities we make about nature and our own practices and give practical recommendations to conserve the migration route.
