The recurring incidents of tiger attacks in the region have raised concerns about the increasing human-wildlife conflict. Experts suggest that habitat fragmentation, human encroachment into wildlife territories, and competition for resources contribute to this conflict.
To mitigate such conflicts, conservation efforts focus on maintaining a safe distance between human settlements and wildlife habitats. Strategies include relocating human settlements, providing compensation for crop damage and livestock losses, and promoting coexistence through education and awareness.
