TRANS-BOUNDAR Y HUMAN-ELEPHANT CONFLICT IN THE INDO-NEPAL TERAI LANDSCAPE

摘要

For managing elephant populations moving across the Indo-Nepal border, preparation and implementation of a joint action plan by the forest departments of West Bengal and Nepal is essential. There is also need for better coordination among the forest officers of West Bengal (DFOs/Wildlife Division I and Kurseong Division) and DFO/Jhapa in Nepal to share information about movement of elephant herds, existence of problem elephants and activities of elephant poachers.
