According to the study, farmers in developing countries are more likely to suffer financially from Human Wildlife Conflict than farmers in developed countries. The cost of conservation is immense and even raising funds for this falls short. The study found that while governments in developed countries have the financial resources to pay for compensation, governments in developing countries do not have the resources to pay for compensation and so the system does not work. Local people are forced to choose between the survival of their families, or the animals, and killing the predators will always be the easiest option.
