Although societies have developed strategies to mitigate human-carnivore conflicts, the rise of social conflicts between people who value carnivores and those who do not has sometimes affected the use of mitigation strategies, whether lethal or non-lethal. Here, in Chapter 1 "The twin challenges of preventing real and perceived threats to human property and livelihoods", I lay out an integrative theoretical framework for understanding the implementation of interventions for coexistence and conflict, which includes both the effect in preventing future damages (functional effectiveness "FE") and the individual human perceptions of effectiveness of an intervention (perceived effectiveness "PE"). Here, I expose the cause-and-effect logic underlying people's decisions to intervene or not, where both explicit and hidden mechanisms are considered.In Chapter 2, I tested the hypothesis that perceived livestock losses match verified losses. I investigated whether the attributes of sites of verified losses are consistent with attributes of sites of unverified losses (defined as people's perceived losses) in southern Chile. Here, I could identify that people's perception of losses matched verified losses, providing groups of interests (e.g. livestock owners and agencies) with an opportunity to collaboratively move towards cost-effective coexistence strategies.Finally, in Chapter 3, I provide evidence on the effectiveness of a non-lethal method (Foxlights®) using a gold-standard experiment with a cross-over design. Here, I could draw strong inference about the effectiveness of this method, which may help in promoting coexistence between pumas and people in Chile. I also describe and provide evidence that gold-standard experiments are possible to apply under extensive, wild field conditions for both livestock and predators, where the design implemented as well as the use of an engagement process for recruiting farmers helped to overcome such challenges.
