Human-wildlife conflict: Preventive measures on the cards around hotspots in Keralam’s Perambra estate
Authorities in Kerala’s Perambra estate are preparing preventive actions to curb rising human‑wildlife clashes near hotspots. The move follows a surge in animal intrusions across the Peruvannamuzhi forest range, affecting villages such as Chakkittapara and Muthukad and nearby plantations. Residents and laborers say the problem has become acute, particularly during early‑morning rubber‑tapping activities for local communities.
