Francine Madden brings fifteen years of inter-disciplinary experience addressinghuman-wildlife conflict (HWC) and other aspects of conservation and wildlifemanagement. In 2006, with the support of over 50 organizations, she helpedlaunch the Human-Wildlife Conflict Collaboration (HWCC) and is currentlyworking to integrate best practices in conflict prevention and reconciliation intothe conservation field.

Based on the lessons learned and best practices of both the conservation anddeep-rooted conflict resolution fields, the presentation will suggest successfulmodels for understanding and analyzing conflict dynamics; explore factors thatinfluence tolerance levels among community members to wildlife; compareidentity or deep-rooted conflict approaches with other negotiation or conflictmanagement approaches; outline the consequences of a failure to address alllevels of conflict; discuss the importance of multi-stakeholder decision makingprocesses for ensuring greater success and sustainability in conservationprograms; and make recommendations for how conservation professionals canimmediately use some of the best practice tools, principles and processes foreffective conservation conflict transformation.
