The present study on the management of human-elephant conflicts in the W transboundary biosphere reserve is prepared at the request of the National Center for the Management of Wildlife Reserves (CENAGREF). It is part of efforts to contribute to the sustainable conservation of elephants (Loxodonta africana), a wildlife species that is of ecotourism interest and mobilizes a lot of resources for its protection in Benin and in the W biosphere reserve in particular. The objective of this study is to make a diagnosis of the current situation of human-elephant conflicts, and to find strategies that take into account both the interests of humans and the conservation of elephants.
