Construction of buildings in the traditional elephant migratory corridors resulting in obstruction of their path is a major factor contributing to human-elephant conflict in Coimbatore, according to G. Sivasubramanian, Assistant Manager, Western Ghats Landscape Programme, World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) – India.
Addressing the monthly ‘Enviromeet’ organised in the city on Sunday by Osai, a non-governmental association involved in environmental conservation and protection activities, he said that while the reasons for these incidents varied across the State, there were some common underlying causes such as loss of elephant habitation due to development activities.
