A study on Human Elephant Conflict and the trend over a period of 5 years in 4 Divisions of Assam
Kingshuk Borah KHR2011PGDM21F046 Prof Preeti Narendra
Summary:
The global loss of wild habitats and the expansion of human populations have intensified conflicts between people and wildlife. Intensifying land uses have led to degradation, fragmentation and loss of elephant habitat, and have driven elephants into contact with people, particularly in cultivated areas. Conflict between elephants and people results when elephants feed on crops, destroy farms or homes, or injure or kill people, and when people retaliate against these losses. Sonitpur District, in the state of Assam in north-east India, was referred to as a ground zero for Human elephant conflict in 2004. An estimated 60% of the elephants in Sonitpur and adjoining districts have disappeared since 1999-2004 (many from poisoning), and there have been many human deaths caused by elephants. Finding ways for people and elephants to coexist was, therefore critical to the success of conservation efforts that seek to balance the needs of people and wildlife of Sonitpur district. This was when WWF stepped in and undertook projects in 2004 to create a solution to rising HEC over the Sonitpur district. The project undertaken by WWF was a success and there have been much improvement in conditions then it was before. They decided to expand themselves in the nearby districts where there have been frequent news of HEC and they expanded their work to Udalguri district in 2009. WWF found success and they managed to improve the conditions of HEC over Udalguri district too. The vision of WWF was to find a solution to the rise of HEC over whole of Northeast India. They have now decided to expand there project over 4 major districts/division of Assam viz. Jorhat, Golaghat, Dhemaji and Lakhimpur. They wanted to have an overview of the present conditions of HEC over these 4 districts and I was assigned a job to collect data from all these 4 Divisions and report it to them. The data collected from these 4 divisions might give them a brief overview of the present scenario and past scenario and certain analysis of data were made which might be helpful to them. An overview is given to them about the present condition out there by collecting information from local resources Forest officials of these 4 districts. Finally certain recommendation about where WWF could establish their base to continue their further work on this HEC in Assam is also suggested.

PROJECT ACTIVITIES:
2.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE HEC PROJECT UNDERTAKEN BY WWF: 2.1.1 Human Elephant Conflicts (HEC) management in Sonitpur district of Assam North Bank Landscape (NBL), North East India:
Introduction:
The North Bank Landscape (NBL) lies north of the river Brahmaputra extending upto the eastern Himalayan foothills, across the states of Assam & Arunachal Pradesh in north-east India. (see Fig. 1) The project area is distributed among fifteen (15) districts of the two states and extends from 26011/ N to 29023/ N and longitudinally it lies between 91044/ E to 95054/ E. Straddling the Assam Arunachal Pradesh state border, encompassing a total geographical area of 85,137 sq. km., NBL, until recently, had a continuous belt of forest cover and has been a refuge to a significant population of over 2000 Asian Elephants.

The entire Landscape, which originally had a continuous belt of rich forest cover, since historical times provided a very good habitat for the Asian Elephants. But unprecedented (apprx. 65% loss in Assam part of NBL) forest loss during the last few decades has resulted in the reduction and fragmentation of critical wildlife habitats. Populations of large mammals like Asian Elephants
11
which need vast areas to function are in danger of becoming further fragmented into smaller population units. The socio-political unrest, the ethnic conflicts and large scale felling combined with subsequent encroachment of the forests in the Assam part of the landscape has reached unmanageable proportions. In Arunachal Pradesh, the increasing need for flat land for development and large scale migration of people from higher altitudes to the road heads and valleys is taking away vital linkages connecting elephant populations and habitats. As a consequence, Human Elephant Conflict (HEC) has been constantly rising in the region primarily due to increasing human activities and constant pressure on the forested areas. Elephant killing, in many cases retaliatory, have also been rising in the landscape. While elephant population in the landscape has remained almost constant over the years since 1993, natural forest cover has been decreasing drastically affecting elephant habitat. The present scenario is such that the remaining forests if not protected and the habitats if not conserved with immediate effect the elephants and rich biodiversity of this landscape may very soon become a part of history. With this backdrop, WWFs Asian Rhino and Elephant Action Strategy (AREAS) Programme identified North Bank Landscape in the Eastern Himalayan foothills as one of its high priority areas for long term conservation of Asian Elephants. For the purpose AREAS NBL Program has identified HEC mitigation in the landscape as a short term measure to achieve its long term elephant conservation goal. In this context the Sonitpur district of Assam was found to be the hot bed for HEC and hence HEC mitigation measures were decided to be concentrated in this area under the present project in the year 2004.
Objective:
The two main objectives of the project were: 1. To minimize the elephant caused damage (i.e. crop damage, household and other property damage, human life) in the non forest (or revenue) areas of Sonitpur district to minimize the retaliatory killing of elephants due to HEC. 2. To improve peoples conservation mindedness by helping them to reduce their loss of crop and property due to elephants.
Vision:
To extend the same objectives in all the nearby districts of Assam near the NBL region suffering from HEC.
Methodology:
12
To fulfill the objectives of the project a multi faceted methodology was adopted. On the basis of a preliminary ground survey to assess the elephant movement pattern in the revenue areas of the Sonitpur district, Assam a HEC Mitigation Strategy was developed and implemented during the present project.
RAIDING TRACKS
SONITPUR DISTRICT, NBL
10 0 10 20 Kilometers
Tezpur
The Elephant tracks coming from the remaining forest areas into the revenue areas (i.e, village areas and non-forest areas) were worked out and mapped with updating up to 2003 season. Elephant movement on these elephants tracks (to be mentioned as raiding tracks hereinafter) (see Fig. 2) was tried to be prevented by using kunki elephants on identified exit points (see Fig. 2) along the southern periphery of the forest areas. It was also presumed that this effort would never be good enough to prevent all the elephants coming out from the forest areas. Therefore in Sonitpur district fifty (50) *Anti Depredation Squads (ADS) were formed, oriented and equipped in strategic locations to deal with the elephants which would cross the initial kunki barrier. These ADS in their turn tried to prevent elephants from moving into their crop fields and houses. Capacity building of the ADS was done to enable them to help the forest department so that both the forest department and the ADS could function jointly in a more efficient way to keep the raiding elephant herds away from settlement areas and crop fields.
13
In spite of all these efforts planned it was further presumed that some elephant herds would still manage to reach the Brahmaputra river(see Fig. 2 and 3) where they could access 50-60 sq kms. of undisturbed riverine island area with grassland from where they would again venture into the nearby crop field and village areas. To deal with this situation a few ADS were formed along the Brahmaputra river bank so that elephant movement from the river island down south towards the villages in the north could be prevented.

Anti-Depredation Squads are teams of local people formed to help the forest department in anti depredation operations and also to build capacity within the community in using non lethal anti depredation measures. Each such squad is composed of 10-12 members. These squads are formed in strategic locations see map. to be effective for anti depredation operations. These squads were given an orientation on anti depredation measures to be adopted. They were not paid any honorarium for guarding because the understanding was that they will guard their crop from wild elephant depredation and WWF is helping them to save their own crop.

Data collection:
Data on Elephant movement Existing data on elephant movement in the raiding tracks was updated up to January2004. This was done by rapid field surveys using field formats see field format and GPS. attach field format It was felt during this data collection that all necessary aspects of elephant movement (behavior) can not be understood by this method. Understanding of these aspects might play a very crucial role in developing a better HEC Mitigation Strategy for the region. There is a serious and urgent need to initiate radio telemetry studies in this area. Data on ADS for proper planning Location and contact details of each ADS were collected. see list The ADS locations were selected in such a pattern that these ADS were able to keep the elephants confined in a safe / shelter area efficiently to minimize their movements towards the crop fields and settlement areas. Contact details of each ADS were necessary for developing coordination in elephant drives. Data on location of Kunki installation Location of all possible kunki installation sites for the season were collected by using GPS. Besides, other necessary information, (e.g, accessibility of fodder for kunki, nearby grazing area for kunki) for each of these sites were collected. Data on Elephant drives Data on elephant drives conducted by the FD throughout the season were collected. These data were collected on a weekly basis from the FD, crosschecked and then recorded in a register book. see data sheet These data include which FD office was involved, how much manpower was used, drives conducted from where to where, composition of elephant herds, number of kunkies used, other resources used like vehicle/lights/crackers/guns, etc. Although the elephant drive records for Sonitpur east division could not be collected at a similar level of detail. Data on elephant death / human death These data were collected from the FD offices and then crosschecked in the field. All events of elephant death and human death could not be verified in the field due to lack of staff time of the project team. Data on damage caused by elephant Data on crop damage was collected by interviewing a group of people in thirty (30) villages which were selected on a systematic random basis. (details may be seen in the crop damage assessment part later in this report) Data on other damages like house and property could not be collected meaningfully. Data on peoples perception Peoples perception about HEC, short-term measures as adopted by the present project, long-term measures were collected from questionnaire survey conducted in thirty (30) villages selected on a systematic random basis (for details see section 5.2). Data on the telephone calls received at the NBL field station in regard to HEC were collected in a register book in a simple format. This contains call from whom, response by the project and remark.
15
Data analysis:
Data on Elephant movement was used to generate maps to show the updated raiding tracks in the project area (see Fig. 2). These maps were then used to work out locations for ADS. The ADS locations were selected to reduce elephant movement along these identified raiding tracks (see Fig. 3). Other information in the data set was also consulted to see the feasibility of promoting ADS in respective locations. Besides these dataset was also useful in determining and mapping of the kunki installation sites. Data on ADS locations were recorded on field to verify the locations with respect to the maps (see Fig. 3). These locations were recorded during visits to these places to form the ADS. The database on contact details of the ADS was used to network with the ADS and the FD for planning elephant drives and also to monitor position of elephant herds. Data on location of Kunki installations were collected from the field to verify these sites with respect to the maps. Other information in this data set was used to determine the feasibility of these sites to keep kunki elephants for a few months during the raiding season. Data on Elephant drives were analyzed to see the kind of resource/investment required to conduct these drives. An approximate cost of each drive was calculated from this dataset.
Assam. HEC data regarded for Sonitpur & Udalguri districts have already been collected and well analyzed. Further extending the scope of this HEC project from two districts I had to collect data from 4 other districts/ divisions of Assam viz. Dhemaji, Lakhimpur, Golaghat and Jorhat where there have been reports of frequent HEC over a large period of time.

2.4 ANALYSIS OF DATA COLLECTION: 2.4.1Death of Elephants over various Divisions since 2005 to 2011:
9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 G olag D hat ivion Jorhat D ion ivis
After the collection of various data on Elephant death of the 4 Division it can be seen that there is no record of any death of Elephants in the Lakhimpur & Dhemaji Division due to HEC. I couldnt find any record of such incidents in the Divisional office. It can be either that there have been no casualties or there is no proper storage of data by the officials of those two forest division. Whereas there is a proper collection of data from the Golaghat and Jorhat Division and data on Elephant deaths were there and I have arranged them year wise and made a comparison of the two divisions. It can be seen that there is high rate of deaths in the Golaghat Division as compared to Lakhimpur or Jorhat divisions. The death of Elephants in the Golaghat Division were mainly caused by natural cause (illness), accidents with Trains while crossing Railway tracks, Electrocution, Poaching and injury caused by falling into various trenches near the Tea garden areas. The rate of Poaching is quiet low, this is may be related with very small number of tusker elephant present in the herd whereas the major causes were accidents and injury. From the elephant death data it is also very clear that the HEC in Jorhat is a comparatively low.

Fig.5: Death of Human over various Divisions due to HEC since 2005 to 2011 Making a comparison of the data collected of various human casualties due to wild elephant it can be seen there have been frequent attacks of Wild Elephant in Golaghat division as compared to the other 3 divisions. It could be a major study to know the causes behind such incidents of Human casualties. There are various possible reasons why the casualties have been very high in the Golaghat Division. There also have been many casualties in the Jorhat division after Golaghat Divison. The reason behind these casualties might be similar which will be discussed in the conclusion. Taking an account of the various age groups of human casualties in Lakhimpur as well as Dhemaji division it is seen that most of the victims were of upper age group of around 40-70 years. We can conclude that those people who are general a bit old suffer the most whenever there is an Elephant conflict. People of this upper age group find it difficult to escape themselves against certain panic attacks by Elephants and that is the reason why they are being killed. There wasnt much information regarding the age limit of peoples killed in a conflict in Jorhat and Golaghat Division so I couldnt relate the same reasons of human casualties as I could do in case of Lakhimpur and Dhemaji Division. Consumption of Liquor has also been a major issue for the victims. Discussion with various Forest officials has revealed a fact that various victims were found to be in a state of intoxication while they were being attacked by Elephants. Being intoxicated they were not in a state to escape or save themselves.

Fig.6: Damage of Crop, Properties etc caused by Wild Elephants in Dhemaji and Lakhimpur Division There has been a very few records of damage of properties done by Wild Elephants in the two Divisions Lakhimpur and Dhemaji. The numbers of incidents are very low in Dhemaji Division in comparison to that of Lakhimpur Division. There has been very less interference of elephants with human in places around Lakhimpur but due to the construction of mega dam at Gerukamukh area and also a military firing ground in Dulung RF which used to be very important elephant corridor. Therefore the elephant lost their path and now they interfere into human habitats. Under Dhemaji division there are very few forest areas at the two ends of the districts viz. Jonai and Gerukamukh ( Suwansiri). So there are few conflicts near these two areas of forest. But there is a certain pattern or pathways of the wild elephants across the river belt across Dhemaji. There are 20 rivers flowing across Dhemaji and these rivers are a source of salts and fertile soil where the grass vegetation is quiet lucrative for the elephants. Elephants move across these river beds in search of food and salt which is a very important part of daily diet of Elephants. A pattern of pathway can be seen across these river beds. Another interesting fact came into light was that there are many captive Elephants in the Dhemaji district where people use them for various works. These captive elephants mainly consist of the female. The male wild elephants get attracted by these female tame elephants from miles by their scent and the come in search for them for mating. Due to this reason the wild elephants come and attack the human habitat. This is one of the interesting characteristic of the Elephants in northeast India where the wild elephants mate with the captive ones whereas this is one of the very rare in case of wild elephants observed in all over the world.
19
2.4.3(b) Damage of Crop, Properties etc caused by wild elephant in Golaghat division:
Total Number of conflicts in which properties of people have been destroyed in Golaghat Division over 3 years 2008-09-10:
150 100 50 0 86 45
Fig.7: Total Number of conflicts in which properties of people have been destroyed in Golaghat Division over 3 years 2008-09-10 There has been a proper record of all the data regarding the property damaged of various peoples under Golaghat Division. I have tried to relate these and coming to a conclusion that which areas are having frequent conflicts of elephant over a period of 3 years. The conflict prone areas could be obtained and further research could be done to understand the proper cause of behind these HEC.
Percentage of conflicts in areas affected by wild elephant for the year 2008:

After comparing the various data of HEC in Golaghat it can be seen that the reach of Elephants have increased over a vast area and as compared to 2008 there are more areas that are under the influence of HEC. This shows that there is a rise of HEC and that the Elephant are choosing to make trouble over a large amount of areas thus increase their span of turbulence. There are about 5 or 6 major places where the HEC took place in 2008 but it has increased to about 10 or 12 major places over Golaghat Division.

Amount in Rs.
2000000 0
22
There was a good data base collected from the Jorhat division. It can be seen that Jorhat Division is a quiet high HEC prone area. There has been a vast record of property damaged done by Elephants to the people across various places. Government has also been paying a huge amount of revenue to the people who are being affected a lot by these HEC. Government should take steps in identifying the main cause for all these conflicts and find out a proper conclusion in order to decrease such HEC in future. The actual damage of properties is much more as compared to the ex-gratia paid by government to these peoples. Therefore it can be estimated that a huge amount of revenue and property of the people are being damaged every year by these ongoing HEC.
23
The rise in population of human has resulted in demand of more space and area. As a result of which they have been cutting down forest and satisfying there needs. This results in rapid and unplanned land diversification and modification of the habitats of the Wild Elephants and other wild animals. The Elephants are being widely affected by these changes and pattern as they follow a certain path and when they face up with such diversification they create problems. In order to stop further HEC there should be strict restrictions in deforestation especially in those areas where there is movement of Elephants or it has been their habitat.
4. Learning accumulated:
The basic things that I have experienced in WWF in a short span of one month are listed below: 1. The organizational structure of Forest Department in Assam. The forests Department are divided according to the various Districts of Assam. These Districts have various Divisional offices and under each Division there are certain Range offices consisting of Rangers and under these Range offices lies certain Beat offices. 2. The main motive of WWF in Assam in protecting the Flora and Fauna of the State. There are various projects undertaken by WWF in Assam and I had a rough overview of all the other projects that it is undergoing right now. I have gained a thorough knowledge on the HEC project of WWF in Assam. 3. The storage of data should always be done orderly for it may be very useful later on in due course of time. If the data are stored properly then various analysis can be done on it and useful information can be gained from those analysis. Due to lack of a good storage system of data I couldnt make proper analysis in some Divisions while in some places the data
24
was stored properly and I could make a proper analysis which would be much helpful to gain proper information to my organization WWF.
