Explain the Human- wildlife conflicts. What are the causes and outcomes of the conflict? How is the government dealing with it?
Some of the modern farming methods are : 1. Precision Farming: Using GPS and drones to monitor and manage crops more accurately. 2. Hydroponics: Growing plants in water instead of soil. 3. Aquaponics: Combining fish farming with plant growing, where fish waste feeds the plants. 4. Vertical Farming:Read more

2. Hydroponics: Growing plants in water instead of soil.
3. Aquaponics: Combining fish farming with plant growing, where fish waste feeds the plants.
4. Vertical Farming: Growing crops in stacked layers indoors.
5. GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms): Crops designed to resist pests and diseases and improve nutrition.
6. Automation and Robotics: Using machines and robots for planting, weeding, and harvesting.
7. Integrated Pest Management (IPM): Using a mix of methods to control pests without relying heavily on chemicals.
8. Sustainable Practices: Crop rotation, cover cropping, and no-till farming to keep soil healthy.
9. Smart Irrigation: Using sensors and automated systems to water crops efficiently.
10. Renewable Energy: Using solar and wind power to run farm operations.

Human-Wildlife conflict is the interaction between people and wildlife that results in negative impacts for human or wildlife populations wherever wildlife and people coexist and share limited resources.
Causes:
1. As human populations expand into wild animal
habitats, natural wildlife territory is
displaced.
2. Reduction in the availability of natural prey
or food sources leads to wild animals seeking
alternate sources.
3. Alternately, new resources created by humans
draw wildlife resulting in conflict.
4. The population density of wildlife and humans
increase with overlaps in geographical
areas increasing their interaction thus
resulting in increased physical conflict.
5. Byproducts of human existence offer un-
natural opportunities for wildlife in the
form of food and sheltered interference and
potentially destructive threat for both man
and animals.
Outcomes of Conflict
1. Injury and loss of life of humans and
wildlife [10]
2. Crop damage, livestock depredation, predation
of managed wildlife stock.
3. Damage to human property.
4. Trophic cascades.
5. Destruction of habitat.
6. Collapse of wildlife populations and
reduction of geographic ranges.
Dealing with conflict
See lessDealing with conflict requires formation of multiple partnerships. A strong forest department presence is needed that collaborates with other departments such as railways, police and the district collectors. For instance, people are often attacked by sloth bears when they go out to defecate in the open during early morning hours or when they are moving around in low light conditions.
