Abstract Human–wildlife conflict (HWC) is an escalating humanitarian issue and a conservation concern. In terms of protection management, areas at high risk HWC are not necessarily afforded the same resources as prioritized for protection. To improve allocation limited mitigation efficiency, we determined management priorities based on people's attitudes toward wildlife around Giant Panda National Park. We constructed ensemble species distribution model with 1959 species’ loci 337 event records. This was used to simulate spatial patterns evaluate influence diverse environmental factors. A survey conducted in 155 villages Priority were concentrated near protected areas, where habitats populations recovering expanding. obtained 947 questionnaires, which showed that some residents highly aware had tolerance wildlife, even when they living HWC. However, people who encountered conflicts wild boar more likely have negative other giant pandas ( Ailuropoda melanoleuca ). Thus, may lead generalization conservation. our study area, (e.g., building fences changing crop types) social measures insurance ecocompensation) been implemented mitigate Our results can provide important basis compensation improvement priority. Future studies should further explore how develop personalized plans characteristics different regions.
