Identify core methodological components to guide the rigorous design, execution, and synthesis of technical interventions targeting wildlife-caused agricultural damage.
Evaluated systemic evaluation deficits across human-wildlife coexistence literature, identifying widespread heterogeneity in problem definition, study design, and outcome reporting.
Developed a structured eight-component framework addressing spatiotemporal definitions, mechanistic specifications, experimental inference, stakeholder collaboration, and reporting practices.
Identified eight essential evaluation components: spatiotemporal framing, mechanistic specification, stakeholder engagement, robust inferential experimental design, functional and monetary metrics, wildlife and human impact assessments, stakeholder trade-offs, and standardized reporting.
Established qualitative benchmarks to transform disparate, localized evaluations into interpretable, standardized evidence suitable for global systematic synthesis and conflict management policy.
