Abstract: One of the challenges of wildlife-human conflict that both wildlife managers and local people particularly those who stay near protected areas have to deal with is wildlife crop raids. The effect of crop raids affect farmers negatively on their food security and also it is a challenge to conservation managers in protecting species. The management of crop raids and non-payment of compensation to farmers must be considered from libertarian perspectives of self-ownership and property rights because farmers suffer food insecurity, do not benefit directly from wildlife management and they have no legal rights to kill animals that raid their crops. Crop raid is a human rights issue of food security and the non-payment of compensation to victims affects their private property rights. Conservationists and farmers can work together to prevent crop raids which will result in species conservation and improve farmer’s food security.
