Breaching the barrier

Incidents of human and wildlife conflicts will exist, but we need to minimise such incidents to protect both species.

Of late, incidents involving human-wildlife conflict have been on the rise in Banke National Park's areas. And with every incident, there is always something worrisome; loss of property and livelihood often leads to retaliatory measures against wildlife. And the issue becomes particularly prickly when it involves the loss of human life. Human-wildlife conflict is on the rise due to increasing human pressure on available space, and this interaction often leads to increased conflicts. And belonging to a species that can influence the natural balance, the responsibility to set matters straight too falls upon us, humans.
