A conceptual framework for understanding illegal killing of large carnivores
The growing complexity and global nature of wildlife poaching threaten the survival of many species worldwide and are outpacing conservation efforts. Here, we reviewed proximal and distal factors, both social and ecological, driving illegal killing or poaching of large carnivores at sites where it c...

The growing complexity and global nature of wildlife poaching threaten the survival of many species worldwide and are outpacing conservation efforts.

Through this review, we developed a conceptual social–ecological system framework that ties together many of the factors influencing large carnivore poaching.

We apply our framework to two case studies, tigers in Laos and wolverines in northern Sweden, to demonstrate its utility in disentangling some of the complex features of carnivore poaching that may have hindered effective responses to the current poaching crisis.
