00:00The struggle between elephants and humans has been going on for many years.
00:05But in Jharkhand, for the past 20 years, elephants have been entering the rural areas.
00:11Even in the city, you can see the elephants.
00:14After all, what is the reason that elephants are coming to such areas where the population is high?
00:19That is, why are they heading towards villages and cities?
00:23This has become the biggest question in today's time.
00:26On the one hand, the forest department is doing research.
00:29On the other hand, the common people are also scared.
00:32After all, why 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 the elephants are heading towards the city.
00:44The struggle between elephants and humans is quite old.
00:47In the surrounding areas including Hazaribagh, the terror of elephants has increased in the last decade.
00:53Elephants are leaving the jungle and entering the village.
00:56Not only this, a few days ago, the terror of elephants spread throughout the area in the city.
01:02The district administration and the forest department together sent the elephants towards the jungle.
01:07Not only in the rural areas of Hazaribagh, but also in the urban areas, elephants are being threatened.
01:13After all, what is the reason for this?
01:15A lot of research is going on with this.
01:18From the forest department to the elephant researchers are also studying its nature.
01:23The problem of elephants in Hazaribagh district has increased.
01:29Not only in Hazaribagh district, but I think in the entire Central India landscape,
01:33we are seeing that there has been a spike in the human-elephant conflict.
01:40And there are many reasons for this.
01:43We have made an assessment regarding the Hazaribagh and its surrounding landscape.
01:51We have also made a report on how the conflict can be reduced.
01:57The elephant researchers say that if we look at the nature and events of elephants,
02:03we can see that in the last decade, where the population is high, elephants are moving towards it.
02:10If we talk about Hazaribagh and its surroundings, then there are years of jungles here.
02:14Elephants do not like this food.
02:16Elephants are lovers of bargat, peepal and ikh.
02:19If they do not get food according to their taste in the jungle, they enter the village.
02:23Villagers keep mahua in their homes in the village.
02:26Mahua is the favorite food of elephants.
02:28Elephants target the house where the mahua is.
02:33There has been a change in the behavior of elephants.
02:35And it is understood that their food is in the village.
02:38The reason is that the house is being targeted more by the school.
02:41Whoever comes in the way of food, they kill him.
02:45They do not get food in their jungle.
02:47The reason is that it is a year-dominated forest.
02:50They do not have food for a year.
02:51They need grass and bamboo.
02:53They do not get bargat, peepal and ikh.
03:00So they have made it an easy target for the crop.
03:03And by targeting the crop, the farmers are not as angry.
03:08Now the elephants are targeting the mahua, paddy and rice kept at home.
03:16There has been a change in this behavior.
03:18You can say that the elephants are moving towards freedom.
03:21They used to eat the crops in the ground or in the jungle.
03:26If not in the jungle, they used to come to the crops.
03:28But now they are targeting the houses.
03:30The rice kept in the mud mill is scanned from the outside.
03:36It is scanned from the soil.
03:39And it is broken where the rice is kept.
03:42And the rice is taken out.
03:43The house is broken in the same place where the paddy, rice and mahua are kept.
03:49In the last few days, in the rural areas of Hazaribagh,
03:52people were told to stay away from elephants as much as possible.
03:58If the elephant suddenly arrives, do not try to chase it away.
04:02If the elephant is wearing red and white clothes,
04:05then the elephant is sensitive to red and white colors.
04:07So stay away from wearing this color.
04:10The DFO of Hazaribagh also says that
04:12elephants are not only coming to Hazaribagh,
04:14but are also coming to the middle of India,
04:16leaving the jungles and coming to the rural areas.
04:19The study is going on on how to protect yourself from elephants.
04:22Some reports have been made and sent.
04:25The situation has worsened today
04:27due to the lack of shelter for elephants and their favorite food.
04:31They also say that an app has been made
04:33which will keep an eye on the movement of elephants
04:36so that the forest department and villagers can get information.
04:39The things that are coming up in our study,
04:41the fragmentation of habitat is a major reason.
04:46In addition, the behavior of elephants is also changing
04:51because of various reasons,
04:53mainly due to people coming near the elephants,
05:01storing food in houses,
05:04and not having proper information about the behavior of elephants.
05:08There are many reasons.
05:10In the last two decades,
05:12we have seen cases of conflict in the district of Hazaribagh.
05:20It is unfortunate that many of our people have lost their lives.
05:28We are worried about this and are working on it.
05:34We have started working on it in a planned manner.
05:38We are working on a long-term and short-term plan.
05:42We are also doing predictive modeling
05:46where we can use AI-based applications
05:49to predict the arrival of elephants.
05:53If an elephant is in a landscape,
05:55where it is likely to go.
05:57The behavior of elephants is becoming a challenge
06:01not only for the forest department but also for the general public.
06:05However, awareness is the only solution.
06:08When an elephant enters a rural area,
06:11it should be kept away from it.
06:13Only then can life be safe.
