Abstract

We investigated the human-elephant conflict in eight different ranges in Badrama Wildlife Sanctuary under Bamra (Wildlife) Division, Odisha, India. Elephants were responsible for human casualty, large-scale crop, and property damage; which caused serious human-elephant conflicts in the region were assessed. During 2011-12 – 2015-16, a total of 03 nos. of human killing and 380 human injury cases caused by elephants were recorded. Damage to agricultural crops by elephant was of varying extents i.e. 212.89 acres. As a result, people have developed an antagonistic attitude towards the elephant which adversely affects conservation efforts.
