man and animal conflicts introduction
Answers
Conflict between people and wild animals is one of the main threats to the continued survival of many species in different parts of the world, and is also a significant threat to local human populations.
In recent years, India has seen widespread conflict between wildlife and human beings. A large survey of 5,200 families around 11 protected areas across the country found that 71% of households reported crop losses due to raids by wildlife. These statistics are only the tip of the iceberg. The vast majority of crop losses and damage caused to wildlife are not reported at all. Such conflicts affect not only local populations but also have increase environmental impacts on ecosystem equilibrium and biodiversity conservation.
Some examples of human-wildlife conflict include:
- Predation on livestock or domestic animals by wild animals
- Ungulate damage to crops and fences
- Wildlife strewing about residential garbage
- Damage caused by squirrels or bats to fruit and fruit trees
- Bird nesting in undesirable residential locations
- Vehicle/wildlife collisions, aircraft/bird collisions
