This paper is about a study conducted on mapping HWC hotspots in the silowana complex of Western Province in Zambia. Spatially identifying HWC (hotspots) and possible mitigation measures is necessary to inform HWC management to facilitate a nonviolent coexistence of humans and wildlife. This study used earth observation techniques, Geographic information systems and spatial modelling to identify areas at risk of HWC and possible mitigation measures to address the conflict, based on the Silowana Complex (SC) as a case study area. The study achieved three (3) specific objectives: It analyzed forms of HWC; modelled HWC hotspots and established possible HWC mitigation measures in the case study area.
