Uttarakhand Faces Rising Human-Wildlife Conflict

In Uttarakhand, India, there is a big problem with leopards and bears attacking people.

This is happening because there are more tigers in the forests, which pushes leopards out.

Also, many people have left their villages, leaving empty homes that animals now use.

Climate change is also making bears more active.

Scientists say we need to help people and animals live together safely by building fences, restoring forests, and making villages better places to live.
