Biodiversity conservation often involves conflict. Because it involves the management of natural resources on which many people depend, conservation is inherently complex, involving multiple actors and numerous issues. Differences in values, interests, and needs across or within relevant actors may pit conservationists, communities, businesses, and governments against one another. Conservation efforts and human well-being are thus inextricably intertwined, as each conservation intervention can impact vast networks of stakeholders for the better or for the worst, and vice versa.
