Reports of the damage from wolf attacks haveincreased considerably over the last decade in Georgia (inthe Caucasus). We interviewed locals about this problem intwo focal regions: the Lanchkhuti area (in westernGeorgia) and Kazbegi District (in eastern Georgia) wherelivestock numbers had increased by an order of magnitudeowing to dramatic shifts in the local economies over thelast decade. This coincided with expanding habitats forwolves (abandoned plantations, for example). We foundthat the perceived damage from wolves was positivelycorrelated with a poor knowledge of wolf habits andinappropriate livestock husbandry practices. Our resultssuggest a loss of traditional knowledge contributes stronglyto the wolf–human conflicts in Georgia. Restoringtraditional, simple but good practices—such as protectingherds using shepherd dogs and introducing bulls into theherds—can help one solve this problem
