Call for Proposal: Understanding human-tiger conflict risk in the Eastern Terai Arc Landscape

Human-wildlife conflict has been a major area of work for WWF Nepal. In general, the interaction between humans and wild animals has had a negative impact on people, their resources, and to wild species, which is understood as human-wildlife conflict (HWC). Increasingly, literature has pointed that due to people’s heavy reliance on forest resources, habitat shrinkage from conversion of forests and wildlife habitats to other land-uses and increase in wildlife populations from strict protection are the proximate drivers of conflict.
