Human-Leopard (Panthera pardus fusca) Co-Existence in Jhalana Forest Reserve, India

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The intensity and frequency of human-animal conflicts has escalated in recent decades mainly due to the exponential increase in human population in the past century and the subsequent encroachment of human activities on wilderness areas. Jhalana Forest Reserve (JFR) presents the characteristics of island biogeography in the heart of Jaipur, a city of 3,1 million people. The leopard (Panthera pardus fusca) is the top predator in this newly declared sanctuary of 29 km2. We surveyed people in the 18 villages that engulf this sanctuary. We questioned the villagers perceptions about conservation. Ninety-three percent (round figure) of the population have encountered leopards, and 83 percent were fully aware of its role in the ecosystem. In addition, 100 percent stressed the necessity of conservation to save the forests and 91 percent supported the efforts to a wall in the reserve in order to prevent human encroachment. Most of the population is Jains and Gujars, communities which believe in non-violence.
