Conflict with elephants and subsequent economic losses negatively affect residents’ tolerance towards wild elephants. It is important to understand people’s attitude towards wildlife, especially Asian Elephants with an endangered status. A questionnaire survey was undertaken with 510 forest fringe residents of Nilambur North and South Forest Divisi...

Mitigation measures are one of the best strategies for the management of human-elephant conflict. An assessment of the effectiveness of existing crop protection methods in 17 forest fringe villages of Karulai and Vazhikadavu ranges of Nilambur South and North Forest Divisions was carried out during June 2015 to May 2016. Mitigation methods found in...
High population densities around conservation areas demand strategies for balancing conservation goals and livelihood needs. Management of conservation issues and conflicting interests among stakeholders in such areas can be achieved by exploring the attitude of residents towards wildlife and its conservation. Although a substantial body of researc...
p class="Pa5"> Aim: The aim of this research was to examine patterns of human-wildlife conflict and assess community perception towards compensation program implemented to ameliorate human-wildlife co-existence.
Location : North and South Forest Divisions, Nilambur, South India.
Material and Methods: Data were collected from the official archives o...
Elephant conservation carries cost in the form of human-elephant conflict and affects the well being of people living near ecologically important areas. Conflicts impart serious challenges towards the survival of Asian Elephants, which are categorized as Endangered in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Issues of wildlife conservation are leas...

... Elephantinduced damage can change a person's attitude and perception especially when damage exceeds the individual's tolerance level (Ramkumar et al., 2013;Karanth and Ranganathan, 2018). Besides fetal death and injuries from human-elephant conflict (HEC), a major form of HEC is crop depredation raided by wild elephants (Webber et al., 2011;Megaze et al., 2017;Pozo et al., 2017;Rohini et al., 2018;Anuradha et al., 2019;Branco et al., 2019) and indeed HEC is a serious threat to rural communities as it often endangers the lives and livelihoods of rural families who are dependent on farming (Abdullah et al., 2019). Smallholder subsistence farmers of India are least able to withstand the risks posed by HEC. ...
... We assume many of the scars that we observed, especially those on the body, were acquired from direct encounters with humans [39,53,54]. Increased tension from ongoing HEC is leading many community members to engage in direct conflict with elephants in the GTE, as has occurred in other elephant ranges where HEC is prevalent [55][56][57][58][59][60]. As such, the prevalence of human-inflicted wounds (and scars resulting from those wounds) may increase until effective HEC mitigation strategies can be more widely implemented. ...
... Kerala has the most significant share of its land in the Western Ghats (refer to figure 1-1), with 20,000 sq. km; the Ghats cover almost half of the state's total size (Rohini et al., 2017). The rivers that originate in the Western Ghats are vital to the state's water security, food security, cash crops in the highlands, paddy fields and coconut farms in the midlands, industries, and even coastal fisheries (Suresh & Suchitra, 2021). ...
... It was found that most women struggled with issues related to conflict between people and wildlife. The main issues caused by the conflict were people's anxiety over wildlife near their homes and restrictions on their freedom of movement (Rohini et al, 2017). Less research has been conducted on restrictions imposed and the psychological impacts of the interaction between humans and wildlife. ...
... Additionally, we found that high human density areas positively influenced the HEC (the probability of HECs increased with increasing human density). Previous studies also resulted that human population density affected HECs (Rohini, Aravindan, Vinayan, Ashokkumar, & Das, 2016;Wilson et al., 2015). In our study area, humans have modified the forested landscape into agricultural land through habitat encroachment around PAs (Joshi & Singh, 2011). ...
