Human-wildlife conflicts and economic / statistical number of NWCO s / federal, state and local agencies ? White Paper
September 2007
o1. Complex problem
? Implementation of gambling laws for the protection and scientific management of wild animals had their desired effect: the wild populations rose to its highest level seen since the colonial period. These wild stocks on the rise, an unexpected turnConsequences as a movement of wild animals in urban areas has begun and wildlife damage increased. (Brandt 1997)
o2. Economic impact on families
? reported 61% of the 100 largest cities in the United States, that they or their family had a problem with one or more species of wild animals last year and has an average loss of $ 73 damages.
Almost half (42%) of all urban households reportedtries to solve a wildlife damage problem in the previous year and imported goods worth $ 38 in the trial. Unfortunately, 52% reported that their efforts do not solve the problem were successful.
If these results to the 60 million households in major cities United States (160 million) are projected, suffered urban households $ 4.4 billion per year trying to load the animal world, despite spending $ 2.3 billion and 268 million hours to avoid these problems (Conover1997b).
If we conservatively value of people's time, the minimum wage (6.15 U.S. dollars in 2000), the overall labor costs will be $ 1.6 billion. Thus the total cost of wildlife damages (actual, the more time and money spent to avoid the problem) for urban residents is about $ 8300000000th
An additional 34 million households (92 million inhabitants) live in small towns, villages and rural areas. (U.S. Bureau of the Census 1992). Because wildlife populations arebe higher in rural areas, I suppose, that these families suffer from the problems at least as much animals and people live in cities. This could mean that the total annual cost of wildlife damage to farm families (more time spent on the prevention of the problem) would amount to $ 4.2 billion conservatively.
Total economic losses due to damage wildlife in the United States
?Damage to cars, airplanes, land, timber and household expenses 22000000000 $ per year. These figures do not include economic losses due to diseases or injuries caused by wild animals.
Estimated number of operators Nuisance Wildlife Control (NWCO of)
? E 'was estimated that there are 10,000 NWCO in the United States, but it should be noted that this figure includes the time needed only partially and occasionally. Circumspect It is estimated that there are 5,000 full-time operators. This is equivalent to 1 per 60 400 inhabitants in NWCO. (Based on 2007 Census Bureau population)
Government agencies ? Fish and Game Department, Animal Control, Police, Local Police and Sherriff
? not to engage government agencies in general in Human-Wildlife Conflict Resolution. These agencies are short, untrained and uninsured for> Wildlife control activities. Animal control agencies have the legal authority to deal with wildlife problems.
Federal ? Animal Plant Health Inspection Service
? This duty includes basic education agencies. Wildlife management activities are mainly linked to agriculture.
Summary
? Wildlife conflicts continued to grow in the United States, while federalState agencies and local budgets continue to shrink. With the current number of NWCO, there remains a shortage of workers to the current needs of wildlife monitoring to fulfill. Assistance to the private sector, especially the rural poor. Private NWCO requires more than wildlife and human populations continue to rise. It is not uncommon for a client, a waiting period of 2-3 weeks for the service during the scheduled time of the wildlife living along to a lack of controlNWCO is.
