Leopard (Panthera pardus) management in India is facing many
challenges. Leopards have highly diversified diets and are
extremely adaptable to various ecological conditions. This
versatility allows them to thrive in a broad range of habitats,
often bordering human settlements. In recent years the presence of
leopards has been increasing in a wide range of rural and even
built-up environments, far removed from natural habitats and
protected areas. Although leopards have shown a remarkable ability
to live relatively peacefully close to people, conflicts can and do
occur, with leopards killing livestock and in extreme cases people.
Due to fear and anger, many affected persons retaliate by injuring
and killing leopards. Because Indian law prohibits the killing of
schedule 1 species, responses have been confined to removing the
animal to captivity or translocating it to a new area. A thorough
review of strategy is therefore addressed in the present work to
address every possible human-leopard conflict situation and develop
appropriate protocols for response.
