Construction of a human-wildlife spatial interaction index in the Three-River Source Region, China

In the context of today’s rapid economic development and increasingly strict ecological protection, interactions between humans and wildlife will intensify. Therefore, we need to identify the spatial distribution of such interactions and to take measures to mitigate possible negative interactions. U...
