Article Synopsis
- The growing human population is causing more interactions with wildlife, leading to increased conflicts, particularly with Asian elephants in the Western Ghats of India.
- The study analyzed six years of human-elephant conflict (HEC) data alongside ecological factors to identify causes and patterns of crop damage, property damage, and human casualties.
- Key findings indicate that HEC is influenced by habitat conditions such as grass biomass and human activities, suggesting that reducing anthropogenic pressures could alleviate conflicts.
