Human Wildlife Interaction: Leopards
Human Wildlife Interaction: Leopards
Titli Trust has been supporting the Uttarakhand Forest Department in its efforts to mitigate human wildlife conflict, especially the leopard conflict in the state since 2011 in partnership with WCS-India. The mitigating mechanism is a program titled “Living with Leopards”, a model of co-existence, benefiting people and the leopard.
