Description

This book addresses the growing issue of human-animal conflicts, particularly in forest fringe areas, where encroachment on animal habitats has led to increased encounters between humans and wildlife. It presents the proceedings of a seminar held in 2018, supported by the State Land Use Board, focusing on strategies to mitigate these conflicts. With contributions from researchers and forest officers, the book highlights conservation efforts, policy frameworks, and the role of agriculture in attracting wildlife. It provides practical recommendations for managing human-animal interactions, such as regulating crops that attract animals, to ensure coexistence.

Abstract

The book explores strategies to combat human-animal conflicts, emphasizing the impact of encroachment on wildlife habitats. Presented during a 2018 seminar organized with the support of the State Land Use Board, the book features 12 research and review papers on conservation and conflict mitigation. Discussions reveal that certain crops, such as banana, arecanut, and sugarcane, attract wildlife and exacerbate conflicts in forest fringe villages. Recommendations include regulating such crops and enforcing policies similar to those for canal-irrigated areas. The book calls for coordinated efforts between agriculture and forestry departments to minimize human-animal confrontations.

Well-researched with a lot of thought-provoking ideas, though it sometimes lacks real-world applicability.
