GUWAHATI Human-elephant conflict zones beyond areas adjoining the national parks and wildlife sanctuaries are sporting warning signboards for the first time in Assam.
Aaranyak, an Assam-based biodiversity conservation group has put up 12 signboards at strategic locations in the Udalguri, Tamulpur, and Baksa districts to ensure the safe passage of wildlife and people across busy roads. The districts are in the Bodoland Territorial Region bordering Bhutan.
The signage is aimed at mitigating conflicts between humans and elephants in some of the most vulnerable stretches in the country.
