Man Animal Conflict in Protected Areas with special reference to Gir Protected Areas
In the last five decades, the exponential increase in human and livestock population and the resultant imbalance in land: people ratio, besides changes in land use pattern, have placed a tremendous pressure on natural resources like the forests and the wildlife. In order to meet increased demands of the human population, vast areas of forests, marginal lands, pastures and wastelands have been brought under cultivation, with the result that even the protected areas have become fragmented and disturbed from human activities, cattle grazing and exploitation of natural resources on a large scale.
The resultant Man- Animal conflict was studied extensively by Dr. S.P. Sinha. The report can be downloaded by the “Young Leaders” as members of Network of Indian Environment Professionals” , the host organization for this life changing experience.
