Researchers in California have identified a rise in human-wildlife conflict, particularly with carnivores, linked to prolonged drought conditions exacerbated by climate change. An analysis of nearly 32,000 reports from 2017 to 2023 revealed increased conflicts as animals seek food and water during dry periods. The study highlights how drought not only alters animal behavior but also shifts human perceptions of wildlife interactions. These findings underscore the need to understand the connections between climate change and its ecological impacts.
