The Book ¿ Human-wildlife Conflict¿ explores and explains the extent which the conflict between the local farmers and wildlife species in farmlands in Cameroon is identified as one of the most critical threats to many wildlife species and the ecological systems. Some of the methods like toxic pesticides used by the local farmers to kill and deter wildlife from crop-raiding are ecologically unacceptable. These pesticides are believed to have killed some of this wildlife species especially the rodents, snakes, monkeys and birds and rendered the surrounding fresh water ecosystem to these farms polluted through surface run-off during heavy rainfall. The Book further explains the consequences of wildlife population decline and extirpation of some wildlife species in some parts of the country if the state government and the conservation stakeholders fail to mitigate this conflict by protecting the animals and crops in the farms through incentives, compensations, and extensive education to the farmers on the disadvantages of using very toxic pesticides in local farms to kill and deter crop-raiders.
