All About Non Lethal Conflict Resolution

By Helene Norris


When a community is located in an area where there are a lot of animals, there is a good chance that humans and the animals will have an encounter. Seeing a bear in the wild for example can be pretty fascinating but it also means danger to you and your companions. One can resort to a non lethal conflict resolution to protect oneself.

There are many things that can happen when animals and humans live in the same area. There is always the possibility that one of these animals will hurt a human in an encounter. Some may also venture inside a house, causing a mess and property damage. Still others can also cause a lot of damage to poultry, livestock and plants.

Because of the risks that these animals present, communities that are in these areas have to be prepared. One can easily find books about how to deal with the animal involved. An animal organization may be able provide you with informational materials. You can also join seminars and take part in training courses to learn more.

Remember that not all wildlife are harmful. Before taking any step, you should do your research about these animals. Check if they have been known to cause sickness or have been involved in attacks. If there is an encounter, then assess what happened and what its effects were. If a threat is perceived, then strategies must be chosen.

Choosing a strategy will involve considering what type of animal is involved. You cannot solve a problem with crocodiles using the a solution you used for bears. Each animal has its own qualities and habits and these must be studied. One must also consider if they have been multiplying, what their numbers are and so on.

Different solutions may be used. One could purchase products, such as repellents to help keep the animal away. You might want to change some of your habits as this may be the reason why the animals are attracted. One can also put up structures or modify the environment in some way so that the animal is deterred.

Just because nothing has happened yet does not mean that you do not have to take any action. You can install these structures in advance to prevent anything from happening. If something should happen, then the damage would be less compared to a property that has not had any kind of protection on it.

If you think that these kind of situations are too much for you, then consider calling in the professionals. There are companies that offer these kind of services. They can help in the removal of the animal, install protective structures, and so on. Check if the company is equipped to handle the animal you are dealing with.

To control animal population, hunting and trapping are some of the more familiar methods of controlling animals. Another approach would be using a non lethal conflict resolution. This will not involve killing animals. It can mean using a product, installing barriers, modifying behaviors and so on.
