大型哺乳动物捕食者对人类资产（例如牲畜、农作物、社区安全）造成的广泛损害需要采用非侵入性（即不与捕食者直接接触）和有针对性的干预措施来促进捕食者保护和当地生计。我们收集了来自 23 个国家的 117 个案例，描述了旨在保护人力资产免受 21 种掠夺者侵害的 12 项干预措施的有效性。我们发现：(a) 最有效的干预措施是电围栏、保护动物、控制产犊和物理威慑（保护项圈和电击装置）； (b) 最有效保护的资产是牲畜； (c) 最有效的干预措施是保护资产免受猎豹 (Acinonyx jubatus)、欧亚山猫 (Lynx lynx)、灰狼 (Canis lupus) 和狮子 (Panthera leo) 的侵害。在所有这些情况下，损坏的相对风险降低了 50-100%。我们将这些成果组合成一个最有效实践的新颖框架，并讨论了其结构、实用性和未来应用。
Widespread damage by large mammalian predators to human assets (e.g., livestock, crops, neighborhood safety) requires the application of non-invasive (i.e., without direct contact with predators) and targeted interventions to promote predator conservation and local livelihoods. We compiled 117 cases from 23 countries describing the effectiveness of 12 interventions designed to protect human assets from 21 predators. We found: (a) the most effective interventions were electric fences, guarding animals, calving control, and physical deterrents (protective collars and shocking devices); (b) the most effectively protected asset was livestock; and (c) the most effective interventions being used were to protect assets from cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus), Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx), gray wolves (Canis lupus), and lions (Panthera leo). In all of these cases, the relative risk of damage was reduced by 50-100%. We combined these outcomes into a novel framework of most effective practices and discussed its structure, practicality, and future applications.
