Conservation and mitigation approaches for human–gray wolf ( Canis lupus) conflicts in Shigar Valley, Northern Pakistan
Abstract Human‐gray wolf conflict over livestock depredation and absence of mitigation measures is a key threat leading to the decline of wolf populations in Pakistan, where gray wolves are endangered. In this study, we collected data from January 2019 to September 2021, and human–wolf conflict and...
