Kerala Wildlife Conflict Drive
Context
Kerala Forest Department is launching a 45-day intensive drive to address human-wildlife conflicts across forest-fringe areas in the State.
Scope & Scale:
- Approximately 300 gram panchayats in Kerala are affected by human-wildlife conflict, with 273 reporting frequent incidents. About 30 local bodies are identified as critical hotspots.
Phased Approach:
- Phase 1 (Sept 16–30): Help desks at forest and panchayat offices to register complaints regarding crop loss, safety threats, and delayed compensation; data collection by Forest Department teams.
- Phase 2 (Oct 1–15): Issues unresolved locally are escalated to district-level committees for resolution.
- Phase 3 (Oct 16 onwards): Persistent problems are presented to State government for policy-level interventions.
Objective:
- To systematically document, address, and mitigate human-wildlife conflict, ensuring safety, timely compensation, and sustainable coexistence.
