| Study of large mammalian prey-predators of Gir Lion Sanctuary with special reference to ecology of leopard (_Panthera pardus fuska_) | |
| 2013 Full Book | |
A clear large predator human conflict (LPHC) management guideline has been developed to solve the LPHC. It has elements such as prevention, mitigation, changing attitudes of local communities towards wildlife through education and by assurance that affected communities/people are active participants in wildlife conservation strategies. Preventive measures include 1) understanding, monitoring and evaluating the problem, 2) protection of livestock in and around villages, 3) control of feral animal animal populations (dogs, pigs, buffalo, etc.), 4) managing the size of the leopard population, 5) fertility control for leopards to be released, 6) fertility control for leopards not to be released, 7) framing policy for culling/removal/eradication of problem leopards, 8) education and awareness for local communities, 9) permanent shelters for migrant farm laborers, and 10) landscape management and land-use modification. Mitigation approaches include 1) capture and release of problem individuals, 2) winning hearts and minds, 3) review of compensation policies and schemes, 4) integrate LPHC management into wider conservation objective. |
