Synopsis

Forest fragmentation, loss of ecological connectivity, developments in human society have led to elephant conservation issues. Elephant conservation by Odisha state in eastern India began in 1987. Changes in migration corridors shared with states of West Bengal, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh have driven elephants for periodic stay in new areas causing unnatural elephant deaths and social issues in villages of Odisha. There is loss of crops, houses, human life and properties. The book traces 30+ years' elephant conservation path in Odisha, provides quantitative case studies on human-elephant interface and the impact on people during 1997 to 2014. The movement path, herd composition, entry-exit patterns and elephant occupancy days give insight to ecological demand in Odisha and threats to elephants. Reasons for changing movements discussed; workable recommendations used in elephant conservation mentioned. Authored by Dr Lala Aswini Kumar Singh known for contributions in wildlife research from 1974, Dr H K Sahu of NOU and Dr N C Palei, it is an absorbing work for general readers with matters for researchers and Government in conservation of elephant and other wildlife.
