How can animal-human conflicts impact forests and wildlife in India
SC warns that no forests or wildlife will be left if animal-human conflicts are not resolved.
- Loss of habitat: Human encroachment on forests results in habitat destruction, forcing wildlife to move closer to human settlements.
- Increased poaching: Straying animals are easy targets for poachers, leading to a decline in wildlife populations.
- Disruption of ecosystems: Animal-human conflicts disrupt the balance of ecosystems, affecting species diversity and overall forest health.
- Human casualties: Conflicts often result in human injuries and fatalities, leading to negative perceptions towards wildlife conservation efforts.
- Conflicts escalate: With no resolution, conflicts are likely to escalate further, causing more damage to both forests and wildlife populations.
