Human-tiger conflict in Kodagu: Should tigers be translocated?
The Hindu
Following the two human deaths due to tiger attacks within a span of 12 hours in Kodagu last weekend, questions are being asked on whether the forests have reached their ecological carrying capacity and should tigers be translocated.
While Kodagu is known to be an epicentre of human-elephant conflict, there is an increase in frequency with which tigers are straying into villages in recent years. In the last year alone, three human deaths have taken place due to tiger attacks in villages bordering Nagarahole.
