Policy Implication for Human-Wildlife Co-existence Under Climate Change
摘要
This chapter examines approaches to reconciling conservation efforts with local livelihoods to promote human-wildlife coexistence. It suggests strategies such as habitat restoration and the introduction of Kunki elephants to alleviate conflicts. Additionally, community-based conservation initiatives aim to empower residents by providing alternative livelihoods, including handicrafts, beekeeping, sustainable agriculture, and access to clean cooking fuel, which reduces dependence on forest resources. The chapter also emphasizes the significance of relocation policies that prioritize community needs and cultural connections while offering sufficient support for displaced communities.
