Karnataka's Strategy to Reduce Human-Wildlife Conflict

Karnataka's Strategy to Reduce Human-Wildlife Conflict

Forest Minister Eshwar Khandre talked about how Karnataka is trying to reduce problems between humans and wild animals.

He said the government is working to protect both people and animals.

There are more incidents with elephants and wolves near forests.

The state has a special team and a command center in Bengaluru to handle these situations.

When animals come into human areas, teams go to check and decide what to do.

The government is also planning to build houses for forest workers in risky areas to help them respond faster.

This way, they can keep both people and animals safe.
