India Faces Rising Human-Wildlife Conflicts Amid Conservation Success
India's wildlife populations, including tigers and elephants, have grown due to successful conservation efforts. However, this success has led to increased human-wildlife conflicts as animals venture into farmland, towns, and areas fragmented by development. Rural communities face crop damage, livestock loss, and safety risks. Experts emphasize the need for smarter land planning, connected habitats, community involvement, and coexistence models that balance conservation with economic growth and infrastructure development.
