Senior conservation biologist of Aaranyak Dr Alolika Sinha explained on the various dimensions of human-elephant conflict (HEC) and different tools and strategies adopted to mitigate the problem to facilitate coexistence.

Dr Sinha also highlighted Aaranyak’s experience of working with the grassroot community in mitigating HEC and underscored the key role played by the forest personnel in the community-centric HEC mitigation efforts.
