HUMAN – ELEPHANT CONFLICT

by Dr. Pashupati Chaudhary

In simple terms, conflict is a misunderstanding between the two groups. It is the havoc situation which makes the relationship hostile in any context, whether it is between two people, or between two groups or between two countries or between human and elephant. Conflict may arise due to several reasons. It may be due to misunderstanding of the views, ideas, competition for the same natural resources, and misuse of the resources. But this human-elephant conflict is also not surprising to hear and accept. It is the real picture which is frequently occurring in the South-east Asian region.
