Paying for the Presence of Predators: An Evolving Approach to Compensating Ranchers
Conversion of rangeland habitats in North America (to more intensive agriculture or to urban/exurban uses) concentrates livestock and predators on a shrinking landscape, making conflict inevitable.Rural communities often feel disenfranchised by efforts to protect or restore native predators.Ranching...
