Abstract

There is a pressing need to integrate large carnivore species into multi-use landscapes outside protected areas. However, an unclear understanding of coexistence hinders the realization of this goal. Here, we provide a comprehensive conceptualization of coexistence in which mutual adaptations by both large carnivores and humans have a central role.

Keywords: carnivore conservation; co-adaptation; coexistence; human–wildlife interactions; shared landscapes.
