This research investigates the economic and social aspects of human–wildlife conflict (HWC) in Mhokwe, Mbire district, Zimbabwe. Data were collected through key informant interviews and a questionnaire survey. Most households in Mhokwe rely on crop and livestock production, and hence, HWC is an important factor affecting livelihoods. More than 60% of respondents experienced problems with lions (Panthera leo Linnaeus), spotted hyaenas (Crocuta crocuta Erxleben), armoured bush crickets (Acanthoplus speiseri Brancsik) and quelea birds (Quelea quelea Reichenbach). Other problem animals included elephant (Loxodonta africana Blumenbach), vervet monkey (Chlorocebus pygerythrus Cuvier), kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros Pallas), chacma baboon (Papio ursinus Kerr), bushpig (Potamochoerus porcus Linnaeus) and common duiker (Sylvicapra grimmia Linnaeus). Few incidences of conflicts were reported for hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius Linnaeus), side‐striped jackal (Canis adustus Sundevall), porcupine (Hystrix africaeaustralis Peters), nile crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus Laurenti), African wild cat (Felis lybica Forster), African python (Python sebae Gmelin) and guinea fowl (Numida meleagris Linnaeus). Livestock and crop losses were US$45,285 and US$57,541 in 2013 and 2014, respectively. Despite the losses, most respondents had positive attitudes towards wildlife. Construction of strong kraals and implementation of integrated pest management (IPM) can contribute to conflict reduction.

津巴布韦东北部Mbire区Mhokwe区的人类与野生动物冲突

这项研究调查了津巴布韦Mbire区Mhokwe的人类与野生动物冲突（HWC）的经济和社会方面。通过关键线人访谈和问卷调查收集数据。Mhokwe的大多数家庭依靠农作物和牲畜生产，因此，HWC是影响生计的重要因素。超过60％的受访者遇到过狮子（Panthera leo Linnaeus），斑点鬣狗（Crocuta crocuta Erxleben），铠甲bush（Acanthoplus speiseri Brancsik）和魁北克鸟类（Quelea quelea Reichenbach）的问题。其他有问题的动物包括大象（Loxodonta africana Blumenbach），黑长尾猴（Chlorocebus pygerythrus居维叶（Cuvier），苦杜（Tragelaphus strepsiceros Pallas），狒狒（Chacma狒狒）（Papio ursinus Kerr），bush猪（Potamochoerus porcus Linnaeus）和普通杜克（Sylvicapra grimmia Linnaeus）。据报道，很少有冲突发生在河马（河马），侧条纹狐狼（Canis adustus Sundevall），豪猪（Hystrix africaeaustralis Peters），尼罗鳄（Crocodys niloticus Laurenti），非洲野生猫（Felis lyb）方面。 （蟒蛇sebae Gmelin）和珍珠鸡（Numida meleagrisLinnaeus）。2013年和2014年牲畜和农作物损失分别为45,285美元和57,541美元。尽管损失惨重，但大多数受访者对野生动植物持积极态度。建设强大的部落并实施有害生物综合治理（IPM）可有助于减少冲突。
