Anthropogenic activities result in the decline in quality and coverage of forests, loss of biodiversity and removal of forest corridors which ultimately restrict or modify the movement of elephants causing a forceful change of their habitats. .A major objective of this monograph is to identify the characteristics of man–elephant conflicts in terms of land use change, cropping patterns, ecological characteristics of the fragmented dry deciduous forest, trends and patterns of elephant migration, and livelihood patterns of the inhabitants in the affected areas. Readers will discover insights into changes in the behavioral pattern of elephants and localpeople in the conflict ridden zones, and how this influences food selection. Through this book we also learn about rational management strategies that can be employed on the local and national level to mitigate human-elephant conflicts..Ecologists, landscape conservation planners and | 出版日期 | Book 2016 | 关键词 | elephant migration; west bengal; fragmented habitat; Asian elephant Elephas maximus; biodiversity conser | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-31162-3 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-31161-6 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-31162-3Series ISSN 2191-5547 Series E-ISSN 2191-5555 | issn_series | 2191-5547 | copyright | Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016 |
