Kallar elephant corridor in the Western Ghats, India: trend of human interface vis-à-vis feasibility of wildlife-friendly flyover and land acquisition
Neha Midha, N. Krishna Kumar, D. Boominathan, Samuel Thomas, Chhavi Jain
The present account from Kallar elephant corridor is a case-history which elucidates that delay in implementing management recommendations leads to unmanageable trends in land-use pattern, traffic intensity, human–elephant interface, and escalation of costs for management options like land acquisition and engineering structures as flyovers or ‘elephant underpass’. Ultimately, a situation may develop where elephants may take their own course of population reduction, fragmentation and shifting of interface problem to new areas.
