Human-wildlife conflict prevention awareness play performance

Siddapur, Feb. 24: A play was performed to create awareness about preventing human-wildlife conflict.

Under the direction of Kodagu District Chief Conservator of Forests Sonali, the play was performed in collaboration with ‘Human World for Animals’ organization and Tata Coffee Company Palibatta by the Thitimathi Zone of Virajpet division in Emmegundi, Hosahalli and Maragundi coffee plantations belonging to Tata Company.

Speaking after participating in the program, Virajpet Taluk Deputy Conservator of Forests Jagannath said that this program has been organized to create awareness among the working class in coffee plantations about preventing wild animal attacks. He appealed to people to be vigilant every day. He instructed them to inform the Forest Department or the head of the respective plantation as soon as they see wild elephants. He expressed regret that human-wildlife conflict is increasing day by day. He expressed his opinion that the destruction of forests, destruction of habitats of wild animals, as well as the destruction of elephant corridors are the reasons for the increase in human-elephant conflict. In some places, miscreants are setting fire on the edge of the forest and spreading forest fires, destroying trees, vines and bamboos in the forest area. He said that against this backdrop, a situation has been created where wild animals come from the forest to the country to hunt for food. Jagannath appealed to the people to stay safe and protect themselves and cooperate with the forest department to prevent human-elephant conflict.

The program was attended by Assistant Conservator of Forests of Thitimathi Sub-Division Gopal, Zonal Forest Officer Gangadhar, Sub-Divisional Forest Officer Shashi P.T, Tata Coffee Company officers C.A. Bopaiah and Dilip Kumar Singh, M.N. Thammaiah, Manager of Safety and Wildlife Department of Tata Coffee Company Karthik Krishna, Thammaiah and Vinod of Human World for Animals, and managers, staff and workers of various departments of Tata Coffee Company.

Under the leadership of Sub-Divisional Forest Officer Shashi P.T, artists of the Prithvi Kalatanda led by Yogananda of Mysore performed a play for 2 days in seven departments of Tata Company.
