Elephant Create Havoc In Putukela, Villagers Panic

Jashpur: In Putukela and Kharwatoli of Kunkuri forest range, tusk elephants created havoc as it vandalized more than 6 houses in two villages. Due to this, there is an atmosphere of panic among the villagers. With the continuous movement of elephants in the area, the villagers are now forced to wake up.
Chhattisgarh is home to a significant population of wild elephants, and the state has been experiencing increasing levels of human-elephant conflict in recent years. This conflict is caused a number of factors, including the loss of elephant habitat, the expansion of human settlements into elephant range, and the competition for resources.
The loss of elephant habitat is one of the main drivers of conflict. As human populations grow, they encroach on elephant range, forcing elephants to move into areas that are closer to human settlements. This can lead to crop raiding, as elephants search for food in fields and orchards. Elephants can also be dangerous to humans, and there have been a number of fatal attacks in recent years.
The expansion of human settlements into elephant range is another major factor contributing to conflict. As more people move into areas that are home to elephants, there is an increased risk of encounters between humans and elephants. This can lead to crop raiding, property damage, and even injuries or death.
The competition for resources is also a factor in human-elephant conflict. Elephants need large areas of land to roam and forage, and as human populations grow, there is less land available for elephants. This can lead to competition between elephants and humans for food and water, which can further increase the risk of conflict.
