contents Worlds that collide: conservation applications of behaviour and culture in human-wildlife interactions. Meaux, Estelle Brown, Culum Mesnick, Sarah L O'Connell-Rodwell, Caitlin Mumby, Hannah S Conservation of Natural Resources Humans Animals Culture Animals, Wild Biodiversity Human-Animal Interaction The behaviour of both humans and wildlife is central to the conservation of biodiversity because conservation requires human actions at multiple scales. In species with evidence of socially learned behaviour and culture, the juxtaposition of human and animal culture increases the complexity of human-wildlife interactions and their investigation but also offers opportunities to mitigate negative interactions. In this paper, we consider the language used to analyse human-animal interactions and we review the effect of culture and socially learned behaviours on those interactions. We investigate how knowledge of culture and theory from behavioural studies can be used to negotiate the complex interactions between humans and wildlife, providing specific examples of how culture can be mined for developing policies regarding negative interactions. We highlight that interactions between animal and human culture are central to the conservation of wildlife, and that such human-wildlife interactions are a key target for studies of biodiversity conservation. Integrating culture and social learning into conservation research offers scope to leverage knowledge gaps, misconceptions and concerns into conservation actions that are targeted, relevant and meaningful.This article is part of the theme issue 'Animal culture: conservation in a changing world'.
