Abstract
The discomfort expressed by Masuda and Scharks in linking wildlife declines to social conflict and Smith's concern about harvest effort increasing when wildlife declines reinforce the central message of our Policy Forum: Despite growing evidence of the importance of wildlife-society linkages, these connections are rarely incorporated in the work of researchers, policy-makers, or practitioners. We did not aim to test causal relationships or economic theories linking wildlife declines to child slavery. Our primary goal was to illustrate the deep environmental roots of many types of social conflict and elevate the visibility of this oft-ignored driver of social unrest.
