00:00The struggle between elephants and humans has been going on for many years.
00:05But in Jharkhand, for the last 20 years, elephants have been entering rural areas.
00:11Even in the city, you can see the elephants.
00:15What is the reason that elephants are coming to such areas where the population is high?
00:20Why are they heading towards villages and cities?
00:23This is the biggest question in today's time.
00:26On one hand, the forest department is doing research,
00:29and on the other hand, the common people are also scared.
00:32Why has the behavior of elephants changed?
00:36ETV Bharat is going to show you a special report today,
00:39through which you can understand why elephants are heading towards the city.
00:44The struggle between elephants and humans is very old.
00:47In the surrounding areas including Hazari Bagh,
00:50the terror of elephants has increased in the last decade.
00:54Elephants are leaving the forest and entering the village.
00:57Not only this, a few days ago, the terror of elephants spread in the whole area in the city.
01:03The district administration and the forest department together sent the elephants towards the forest.
01:08Not only in the rural areas of Hazari Bagh,
01:10but also in the urban areas, elephants are being seen as a threat.
01:14What is the reason for this?
01:16A lot of research is going on with this.
01:18From the forest department to the elephant researchers are also studying the nature of elephants.
01:24The problem of elephants has increased in Hazari Bagh district.
01:30Not only in Hazari Bagh district, but I think in the whole Central India landscape,
01:35we are seeing that there has been a spike in the human-elephant conflict.
01:42There are many reasons for this.
01:45We have done an assessment on Hazari Bagh and its surrounding landscape.
01:52We have also made a report on how to reduce the conflict.
01:58The elephant researchers say that if we look at the nature of elephants and their events,
02:04we can see that in the last decade, elephants are moving towards a population that is high.
02:11If we talk about Hazari Bagh and its surroundings,
02:13then there are years of jungles here.
02:15Elephants do not like this food.
02:17Elephants are lovers of bargat, peepal and ikh.
02:20If they do not get food according to their taste in the jungle, they enter the village.
02:24Villagers keep mahua in their homes in the village.
02:27Mahua is the favorite food of elephants.
02:29Elephants target the house where the mahua is.
02:34There has been a change in the behavior of elephants.
02:36And it is understood that their food is in the village.
02:39This is the reason that the house is being targeted more.
02:43Whoever comes in the way of food, they kill him.
02:47They do not get food in their jungle.
02:49The reason is that the forest is dominated by the elephant.
02:52Elephants do not have food.
02:53They need grass and bamboo.
02:55They do not get bargat, peepal and ikh.
03:02So they have made the crop an easy target.
03:05Farmers do not get angry if the crop is targeted.
03:09Now the elephants are targeting the mahua, paddy and rice in the house.
03:18There has been a change in this behavior.
03:20You can say that the elephants are moving towards freedom.
03:23They used to eat the crops in the jungle.
03:28If they did not get it in the jungle, they used to come to the crops.
03:30But now they are targeting the houses.
03:32Now they scan the rice in the school from outside.
03:40They break the rice and take it out.
03:45They break the rice and paddy in the house.
03:51In the last few days, people in Hazaribagh have been told to stay away from elephants.
04:00If the elephant suddenly arrives, do not try to chase it away.
04:04If the elephant is wearing red and white clothes, the elephant is afraid of red and white colors.
04:09So stay away from wearing this color.
04:12The DFO of Hazaribagh also says that the elephants are not only coming to Hazaribagh,
04:16but are also coming to the middle of India from the jungles.
04:21How to protect yourself from elephants is being studied.
04:24Some reports have been made and sent.
04:26Elephants are not allowed to eat their favorite food.
04:33They also say that an app has been created that will keep an eye on the movement of elephants.
04:38So that the forest department and villagers can get information.
04:41The fragmentation of the habitat is a major reason.
04:48In addition, the behavior of elephants is also changing.
04:53Because of various reasons.
04:55Mainly, people coming near the elephants.
05:03The grains being stored in the houses.
05:07There is no correct information about the behavior of elephants.
05:10There are many reasons.
05:12In the last two decades, we have seen cases of conflict in the district of Hazaribagh.
05:22It is unfortunate that many people have lost their lives.
05:31We are worried about this.
05:33We are working on this.
05:36We have started working in a planned manner.
05:40We are working on a long-term and short-term plan.
05:45We are also doing prediction modeling.
05:48We are using AI-based applications.
05:51We can predict the arrival of elephants.
05:55If an elephant is in a landscape, where it is likely to go.
05:59The behavior of elephants is changing.
06:02It is becoming a challenge for the forest department and the general public.
06:07Awareness is the only solution.
06:10When elephants enter the rural area, keep a distance from them.
06:15Only then can life be safe.
