Abstract
Encounters between people and wildlife have been increasingly frequent in shared and spared landscapes, resulting in positive and negative interactions. Promoting changes that favor positive interactions is essential so that negative impacts are minimized. Thus, coexistence will be used in this project as a cross-cutting axis of the research-implementation strategy aimed at solving complex problems, whose main objectives are: 1) Promoting a sustainable transition through actions aimed at changing the relationship between people and wildlife; 2) Deepen scientific knowledge in the field of human-wildlife coexistence: 3) Develop a transdisciplinary research and collaboration model based on co-production, co-planning and co-implementation: and, 4) Contribute to public policies and environmental governance. The project will be developed in three territories (urban area of Piracicaba, APA São Francisco Xavier and surroundings of Núcleo Santa Virgínia), with different landscape contexts (shared and spared) and conflicts with the fauna. The project is structured in three phases: 1) Assessment of human-wildlife interactions (social research and mapping of interactions); 2) Planning for coexistence (stakeholder mapping, planning and community workshops with focus groups, monitoring and evaluation); and, 3) Promoting changes. The transdisciplinary process of co-production and planning will be evaluated through directed observation and indicators, aiming at an adaptive management of the process. We hope to promote (i) changes in the material, individual/social and political spheres; (ii) significant integration between academic and non-academic actors; (iii) transformation of scientific knowledge into accessible, useful and actionable knowledge; (iv) generation of subsidies for public policies; (v) training of non-academic actors to act in the management of human-wildlife interactions; (vi) development of a research-implementation model oriented to the solution of complex problems. This is a transdisciplinary collaboration project, based on co-production and mutual learning, which seeks to transform co-produced knowledge into accessible, useful and actionable knowledge, with a view to promoting changes and supporting decision-making processes.
