There are emerging opportunities for technical and financial assistance through Farm Bill programs to support producers in the implementation of range riding, carcass management, and various types of electric fencing/fladry. Discussion will include guidelines for conflict risk assessment with utility for conservation planning, through evaluation of habitat and ranch production factors, along with approaches to site-specific implementation.
Non-lethal conflict prevention practices are one element of the 4C’s framework, a system-based approach to conflict reduction. The 4C’s – compensation, conflict prevention, control (lethal) and collaboration – comprise a framework that supports conservation and provides opportunities to address the social, ecological, and economic situation unique to each region, community, and operation.
