Human Wildlife Conflict (HWC) has been aroused in Annapurna
Conservation Area (ACA) due to high dependency of locals to the
natural resources, and improper agricultural and animal husbandry
practices that often lead to severe crop damage and livestock
depredation. This study was carried out in Simpani VDC of ACA to
assess the nature and extent of crop damage and livestock
depredation that contributed HWC and to understand the general
perception of locals towards problematic animals. The study
revealed that conflict was higher in the settlements close to the
forest. The crop damage and livestock depredation was increasing
for past three years. The average financial loss in monetary term
per household was 58% of average per capita income of Nepal i.e. $
185.60. However, the people were positive to conserve the natural
resources in spite of the severe losses. Integrated program should
be made with great consultation with locals by recognizing their
traditional right and practices and ecological and socio-economic
condition of the concerned area. Income Generating Activities,
NTFPs cultivation, improved livestock husbandry, provision of
compensation are inevitable to reduce HWC.
