Abstract
Human-wildlife conflicts are necessarily linked to stakeholders. Resolving these conflicts requires multilateral interaction. Participatory developed decisions promise to have a better information base, include all actors with relevant knowledge and implementation power, be based on mutual trust and understanding and, finally, reduce overall costs. This chapter gives some general guidelines on what to consider for participatory processes in human-wildlife conflicts in order to live up to some of these promises. While the minimum approach consists of characterizing the conflict and of informing the stakeholders, the advanced approach eventually consists of employing a fully fledged participatory method.
