Justin Small-livestock farmers predation control methods CC-By The use of poison against predators is pervasive and negatively impacts biodiversity and ecosystem health globally. Little is known about the correlates of poison use as a lethal control method on small-livestock farmland. We used a mixed-methods approach to investigate commercial farmers’ experience with and perceived effectiveness of predation control methods, reported poison use and its correlates in the Central Karoo. Farmers perceived lethal methods to be cheaper and more effective than non-lethal methods in protecting their livestock from predation. They reported more experience with lethal methods, and over half reported having used poison. 2023-10-03T03:19:07Z 2023-10-03T03:19:07Z 2023 Book https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s13280-023-01892-7 https://dlib.phenikaa-uni.edu.vn/handle/PNK/9412 en application/pdf Springer
