The recent issue where a tiger was shot dead in Bihar claimed the lives of at least nine people. Such instances have shown negative human-wildlife interactions, in fact, they are increasing at an alarming rate.
This is not just an issue, this is a global problem that concerns wildlife.
The heart of the problem lies in human population growth. Our planet has only a finite space to be occupied or used by humans. Forests are constantly cleared to either house us, grow food, etc, which causes the above problems. animals coming into villages and attacking humans for food. We also come up with projects such as buildings, railways, etc that affect natural wildlife habits. Apart from this climate change floods, drought and wildfires displace wildlife pushing them into human habitations in looking for food, water, and shelter.
One of the ways to control this problem is technology, such as warning systems to keep off animals without harm can be put to good use. More than anything it is crucial to understand that since the nature of each issue is different the solutions should be too.
