Reasons Behind Human-Elephant Conflict

1. Habitat Loss:Deforestation and development force elephants into human areas.

2. Agricultural Expansion: Elephants raid crops, affecting farmers' livelihoods.

3. Water Scarcity:Elephants compete with humans for water resources.

4. Blocked Migration Paths: Human settlements block elephant paths, leading to encounters.

Human-elephant conflict requires habitat conservation, community engagement, and sustainable practices to promote coexistence.
