Abstract:
Wildlife workers versus farmers' conflict is constituting a serious threat to peaceful co-existence, food security as well as national security in Nigeria. The study thus, examined the role of peace education in resolving wildlife staff versus farmers' conflict. The study identified four (4) socio-economic effects of wildlife staff versus farmers' conflicts namely: food insecurity, poverty, farmers' displacement, erosion menace and loss of lives. Peace strategies for managing wildlife staff versus farmers' conflict include: withdrawal, force, accommodation and compromise. Based on the findings, the study recommends among others, that government should organise peace summit involving all major stakeholders such as traditional leaders, religious leaders, youth leaders, political leaders, farmers associations and wildlife workers.
