Human–Wildlife Conflict Mitigation

As habitats shrink and fragment, encounters between people and wildlife — particularly elephants, leopards and primates — have increased. The Department's mitigation strategy combines prevention, response and compensation.

• 24×7 control rooms in conflict-prone divisions
• Rapid Response Teams with tranquilization expertise
• Solar fences, elephant-proof trenches, early-warning SMS systems
• Ex-gratia compensation for crop loss, injury and death
• Community awareness and capacity building
