Valparai: The Wildlife Research Volunteer Organisation, National Conservation Foundation in Valparai and the forest department together held a campaign through street play, Therukoothu, raising awareness on human-animal conflict and its prevention.
Human-animal conflict in Valparai has become a potential danger and causing deaths in Valparai. This has also been causing a lot of disturbance to the people as elephants, tigers, leopards, bears, bison wild boar, etc. in the Valparai area. The animals enter the human bounds in search of food and water and this has resulted in human-animal conflict.
In order to prevent this, the Wildlife Research Volunteer Organisation National Conservation Foundation in Valparai and the forest department have joined forces.
On the first day, awareness was conducted in the Karumalai estate area, where Anand and Ganesh of the National Conservation Foundation supervised the event.
They campaigned for the public through a street play art programme on how to live safely in the place.
Through the initiative the artists emphasized how humans should act while they witness elephants, humans should not smoke in the forest, which would cause fire in the forest area and wildlife should not be harassed.
