Seminar for conflict management in nature conservation, a case study
of conflicts between yezo-deer management and endangered raptor
conservation in Shiretoko

A series of four seminars will be held to discuss and learn conflict
management in nature conservation. Integration of various sectors and
consensus building among stakeholders are some of the key issues for
ecosystem management, and these seminars will provide young researchers
with opportunities to broaden perspectives and to develop skills to
manage (not necessarily solve) conflicts.
Experienced researchers for deer and raptors are invited to the
seminars to share with participants the background, current status and
issues. Participants are encouraged to discuss issues with lecturers
and other participants.
