Explanation:

Recently a piece of news surfaced that a woman was KILLED by a tiger in Ranthambore National Park in Rajasthan. This was the seventh such case in last two YEARS. This isn’t the first time news like this has surfaced. With a never-ending quest of development, both humans and animals have suffered at the hand of our efforts to form a developed society. While numerous animals stare down at extinction, many humans have also died for no reason whatsoever. So, what is this PROBLEM which has killed both humans and wildlife?

How often have we been hearing the news of tiger or leopard being attacked by local villagers or a human losing his/her life after coming in close contact with a wild animal? How often do we GET to hear about the cause or solution of this ever growing problem? While the world has lost a majority of its natural wildlife habitat and a vast portion of wild animals are under the endangered category or already extinct, the ever-growing human-animal conflict has proven to be one of the biggest hurdles for wildlife conservation efforts. The reason for the increase in conflicts are purely two fold – encroachment of wildlife habitats that are meant to be the home to these lethal wild animals and the second reason is the uneven distribution of wild animal population across National Park and Wildlife Sanctuaries in India. Before we get onto discuss the root of the problem and solution of it, let’s refresh our memory with recent CASES of human-animal conflict.
