Modelling the resilience of wildlife populations reliant on forest resources in the face of increasing human population pressure
An intricate mathematical model has been created to address the conflicts arising between the population of humans and wildlife due to the rising number of people residing in forested regions. This model operates under the assumption of a continually growing human population. It is qualitatively examined for factors like the boundedness, existence, and stability of equilibrium points, as well as the permanence of the system. This suggests the need for delicate managing of both human and ecological systems to prevent forest ecosystem degradation and ensure human-wildlife coexistence from thoughtful management of resources. The model framework can inform more effective policy and conservation strategies that aim to reduce human-wildlife conflicts and foster land-use practices that can besustained over the long term.
