Removal of toxic lead metal from wastewater by using bio-absorbent

Abstract :

Issues of human animal conflicts in the fragmented landscape of Gudalur reserve forest division of the Nilgiri was analysed in 2006. Data on human animal conflicts were collected through questionnaire survey from the villages and ten years secondary data on conflict issues were collected from the records of the forest department. Among the wild fauna Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) has been found as the most potent agent in the study area. On an average of two people and one elephant had been the victim due to conflict every year. On the other hand larger carnivores living in this landscape mostly depending on the domestic livestock due to lack of their prey. The result showed that Leopards were involved 87% (average of 60 to 70 livestock/annum) of livestock liftings. Observations made in this division clearly indicates that fragmentation of habitat is the main cause for the conflict issues. Conversion of natural habitat in to tea estates and encroachments led to habitat fragmentation and the animals get isolated which ultimately resulted for various human-animal conflicts in the Gudalur reserve forest division.
