This booklet, the first of its kind from the Ministry of Environment and Forests, is a result of the consultations with, and the suggestions from, a wide range of individuals and organizations involved in the subject, besides drawing upon reports and scientific studies available
on human-leopard conflict. Knowing full well that such conflicts are
locale-specific, this booklet is intended to provide a guidance framework to be adopted to deal with incidents of loss of life and livestock caused by leopards.
