Maharashtra Grapples with Rising Human-Wildlife Conflicts

In Maharashtra, tigers and leopards are attacking people more often.

This is because humans and animals are using the same spaces.

People are going into the animals' homes, especially during certain times of day.

When the animals feel threatened, they may attack.

One solution is to teach people how to live with the animals, like in Mumbai.

This involves education and changing the way people behave.

Another approach involves enforcement, to stop people from encroaching on forests.

Some animals are relocated, but it doesn't always solve the problem, and might even make it worse.

The key is to give the animals space.
