Yaduveer Calls on Union Forest Minister

New Delhi, June 16: Mysore-Kodagu Lok Sabha constituency MP Yaduveer Wodeyar met Union Environment and Forest Minister Bhupendra Yadav and requested him to provide a permanent solution to the increasing elephant-human conflict in Kodagu district. The incidents of elephants entering agricultural lands and residential areas are continuously increasing in various parts of Kodagu district, which has become a major problem for the people of the district. Elephant attacks are causing loss of human lives, injuries, crop loss, property damage, and creating an atmosphere of fear among the public. The MP drew the attention of the minister that farmers, cultivators and laborers living in the villages on the edge of the forest are suffering severely due to this problem, and requested the Central Government's assistance to formulate a comprehensive and long-term strategy to reduce elephant-human conflict.

He also sought strengthening of solar fencing system, scientific monitoring of elephant movements, early warning system, improvement of forest habitats, formation of quick response teams and provision of appropriate compensation to affected families and farmers. He also said that while wildlife conservation is of utmost importance, protection of lives and livelihoods of people living in forest fringe areas is equally important. Union Minister Bhupendra Yadav assured that he would consider the MP's request positively and discuss it with the concerned authorities and take necessary action.
