Baubles, Beads And Carnivores

One consequence of this forest loss is the displacement of dangerous carnivores from natural habitats… uncomfortably close to human settlements. This condemns future generations of humans and carnivores to a lifetime of conflict. Leopards in particular can live close to humans for surprisingly long periods of time, thriving on our food waste and domestic animals. But sooner or later the inevitable spectre of conflict rears its ugly head.

So? How should we kill our forests? Let us count the ways.
