Kerala legislator P.V. Anvar has moved the Supreme Court highlighting the increasing and serious challenges of human-wildlife conflict, drawing attention to the deaths of 13 people in Tamil Nadu and Kerala after fatal encounters with wild animals.
The MLA from Nilambur constituency in Kerala urged the court to direct the Centre to frame a technology-based strategy and action plan to reduce human-wildlife conflict at the national level and in selected States.
Mr. Anvar said the Union government should also create a national corpus fund for the compensation to the victims of human-wildlife conflict.
