In a growing country like India where the majority of human population depends significantly on natural resources, the forest- dwellers have co-existed with the animals for long. However, the increased human demand for natural resources and degradation of animal habitats, have resulted in a contradictory scenario between humans and wildlife, and agencies involved in wildlife management. With the increase in animal numbers in response to protection, human-wildlife conflicts also have grown. In this article, we try to discuss the subject of human-wildlife conflict in depth. More lately, the phrase ‘human-wildlife conflict management’ is being extended to this and other scenarios that entail any unfavorable interactions between humans and animals. These conflicts might be either actual or perceived, economic or artistic, societal or political. Human–wildlife conflicts also may involve damages to the person that occur from federal, state, or municipal wildlife legislation, rules, or policies that are aimed to preserve or conserve wildlife, public benefits, and private property rights.
