    An Assessment of Effective Communication in Mitigating Human Wildlife Conflict in Shai Hills Resource Reserve.
    (UniMAC - GIJ, 2021-11) Kwabia, Lydia Akosua
    This study sought to investigate the role of communication in mitigating human wildlife conflict at Shai Hills Resource Reserve. This study employs descriptive research design using questionnaires and interviews. The study involves 76 participants from various villages around Shai Hills Resource Reserve. The sample was collected and analysed using SPSS version 20 and Microsoft Excel. Analysis of the data shows that local communities around Shai Hills Forest Reserve are very tolerant with wildlife and do not retaliate against wildlife. However, they do not take part in any conservative measure and also do not benefit from the reserve. This study hence recommends intensive education of the benefits of wildlife and how the reserve can be profitable to the local communities.
