Perspectives on Human-Dog Conflict: Media Convenings

Public and policy debates around street dogs often rely on over-simplified and polarised accounts of people-street dog interactions. The media plays an important role in enabling public debates, shaping positions of elite actors and the lay public, and in influencing policy decisions about human-nature/animal interactions This programme of activities, a part of Reshaping Canine Coexistence Narratives, is focused on the media to cultivate better understandings of people-dog socio-ecologies and to promote considered engagement with conflict-reduction and health measures that are tailored to socio-ecological contexts. Each region-specific convening provides training and resources for constructive reporting on human-street dog interactions.
