摘要

Human–wildlife conflict (HWC) is a critical issue in the agricultural and horticulture fields of the study area. Livestock depredation by wildlife is common in the Baspa Valley of Kinnaur district. The study has focused on the nature of human–wildlife conflicts in the study area and the animals involved in HWC. Uncia uncia and Ursus thibetanus were found to be major carnivores linked to livestock depredation around human settlements in the area’s pasturelands. Macaca mulatta and Semnopithecus ajax are the major animals involved in HWC in the study area and are associated with crop raiding. Pseudois nayaur causes damage to fields mainly during the harvest season. The study has highlighted Ochotona roylei as a pest of the apple tree, marking the first record of O. roylei as an apple pest in India and the mitigation measures adopted by the locals to alleviate the human–wildlife conflict.
