🔎 Addressing Human-Tiger Conflict: India Launches Innovative Pilot Program

Man-animal conflict is a pressing issue in India, with over 300 human lives lost to tiger encounters in recent years. For the first time, the Government of India has approved a one-year pilot program, funded through CAMPA, to systematically tackle human-tiger conflict.

🚨 Key highlights of the initiative:

✅ Leveraging technology to track tiger movements, especially near human settlements.

✅ Enhancing prey density in forests to reduce the need for tigers to enter villages in search of food.

✅ Involving civil society experts to frame actionable policies for conflict mitigation.

This pilot represents a crucial shift toward proactive, science-backed solutions to conserve wildlife while protecting human lives.

🌿 Let’s hope this initiative becomes a model for harmonious coexistence between humans and wildlife.
