摘　　要：Human-tiger(Panthera tigris Linnaeus,1758)conflicts(HTC),manifested primarily as attacks on people and domestic animals,exacerbate at least 2 major threats to tigers:(i)conflicts often result in mortality or removal of tigers from the wild;and(ii)they result in negative attitudes towards tigers by local people,thereby reducing support for tiger conservation.Although HTC has decreased over the past century,it will likely increase if current and proposed conservation initiatives to double tiger populations are successful.Increased HTC could undermine successful conservation initiatives if proactive steps are not taken to reduce HTC.The present paper provides a review of the impacts of HTC and the measures taken to reduce it in ways that reduce negative impacts on both humans and tigers,and stresses the need for development and implementation of comprehensive plans to reduce HTC.
