The research outcomes were shared with relevant stakeholders, including conservation organizations, policymakers, and local communities, to facilitate evidence-based decision-making and the formulation of effective conservation strategies. Ultimately, this research report sought to shed light on the multifaceted aspects of human-wildlife conflicts and their implications for the livelihoods of the local community in Kiruli.
