Wild Animals turn towards human habitations

It is a known fact that in recent years India have lost most of its Tigers and their habitats.But even the protected areas which forms just 3% of the total geographical area of our country are also facing lots of disturbances from human activities and as a result now wild animals more oftently visiting nearby human habitations since encroachment,habitat loss and food-water scarcity became a big problem for herbivores like spotted deer,sambar etc.

And even our Dandeli-Anshi Tiger Reserve is also not exceptional from this.Adding to this recently in a span of 5 days three spotted deers strayed into Human habitats in Joyda and Kumbarwada but forest staff along with help of local people could able to send them back into the forests safely.
