The agriculture–wildlife relationship in India is a multidimensional one, ranging from serious conflict situations to varying levels of tolerance and coexistence. Changes in land use patterns and the population explosion have resulted in increased proximity between humans and wildlife. Birds, however, are generally welcomed by farmers for their many useful roles in agriculture.

It is increasingly evident that a way has to be found for humans and wild fauna to live together, ideally in mutually beneficial situations. This book explains the need for a multi-sectoral, locale-specific approach to mitigate distress and to encourage an agreeable relationship between humans and animals. It examines the complexities of the problems concerning conflict and looks at examples of harmonious co-habitation. It is hoped that this work will be useful for agriculturists, wildlife conservationists, students and NGOs working in this field, and also stimulate interest among government policy makers and implementation agencies.
