“…We show how HTC initiates a cascade of risks through the institution of the dowry because actual and anticipated risks associated with the dowry drive women to exploit resources within tiger territories. The hidden costs discussed here—social, at-home and in-community—are not identified in the current literature on hidden costs of HWC and remain to be included within discussions around tiger reintroduction efforts throughout the tiger’s historic range (Chestin et al., 2017; Lynam, 2010; Qin et al., 2015).…”

Drawing on work in feminist political ecologies and employing a grounded theory approach, this article examines the socio-spatial links between the patriarchal tradition of dowry, tigers, and women’s well-being. It shows how a landscape governed for conservation purposes can produce embodied and material harm for women living under a patriarchal system. Focus groups conducted in eastern Rajasthan, India, reveal how human–tiger interaction, even if primarily potential rather than actual, initiates a chain of social impacts that presents severe risks to women’s well-being, mental health, and life itself. Analysis connecting the pressures of dowry (financial, physical, and psychological) to tiger presence helps expose the presumptions of unfairness, intra-household power dynamics, and hidden costs of human–wildlife cohabitation while supporting calls for the inclusion of women’s perspectives in environmental theory and management.

“…Consistent relationships exist between prey and carnivore abundance allowing the calculation of carnivore carrying capacity based on prey densities (Carbone & Gittleman, 2002). The following formula has been used to estimate tiger carrying capacity for assessing site suitability for tiger reintroduction in central Asia (Chestin et al, 2017) and Cambodia (Gray, Crouthers, et al, 2017b):…”

“…Successful carnivore reintroductions have demonstrated ecological and species conservation benefits (Hayward & Somers, 2009;Sarkar et al, 2016). As such, reintroduction has been identified as a key component of the global strategy to recover Panthera tigris Linnaeus, 1758 (tiger), populations in areas where the species has been extirpated including central Asia and Indochina (Chestin, Paltsyn, Pereladova, Iegorova, & Gibbs, 2017;Lynam, 2010). In Cambodia, tiger were extirpated in 2007 and ambitious plans for reintroduction have been developed for two conservation landscapes: the Cardamom Rainforest and Eastern Plains (Gray, Baltzer, Gopal, & Seng, 2017a).…”

Conservationists need to present biological monitoring data to decision makers in a way which clearly represents uncertainty. Providing results in terms of the probability of a hypothesis being true may have greater utility for decision-making than traditionally used frequentist statistical approaches. Here, we demonstrate such an approach with regard to assessing the suitability of the Cardamom Rainforest Landscape, Cambodia for Panthera tigris (tiger) reintroduction. We estimated the density of tiger prey in the core of the landscape using the Random Encounter Model from camera-trap data and used Monte Carlo simulation to prorogate uncertainty around our model parameter estimates. This suggests there is currently a low probability that the core area of the landscape supports sufficient prey for a population of 25 adult tigers and that significant prey recovery is thus required prior to any reintroduction into the landscape. The Random Encounter Model contains a number of assumptions and we stress our main purpose is to illustrate an approach to incorporating uncertainty into conservation decision-making rather than providing robust estimation of current tiger prey densities in the Cardamom Rainforest Landscape. Our approach has wide utility for conveying species monitoring information to conservation planners in a simple to understand fashion.
