Overview

Systematic review identifies hotspots and key species in human-wildlife conflict, suggesting conservation measures.

Key Points

  • Human-wildlife conflict incidents have risen, largely due to growing human populations and habitat fragmentation.
  • Karnataka, Kerala, and West Bengal show the highest research on conflict, primarily involving elephants, wild boars, and leopards.
  • The review screened 246 articles and analyzed 155 relevant studies to assess the trends and species involved in conflicts.
  • Despite increased interest, significant research gaps exist in northern and central India regarding retaliatory killings of wildlife.
