The Anthropocene is marked by an ever-expanding human-wildlife interface. Re-imagining conservation paradigms that move beyond inviolate protected areas to include thoughtful land-sharing and local cultural contexts are warranted, if we are to safeguard biodiversity and human well-being in this era. We examine pathways and offer potential frameworks that can create better human-wildlife coexistence, and conflict resolution.
