Unending fight between wild animals, human beings

“Madikeri Forest Sub Division has witnessed the intense quest for survival or fight for life between the wild animals, especially the wild elephants and human beings. One major reason for this fight is said to be the sharp raise in the population of wild elephants and increased human settlement in forest areas, clearing of the woods. With the shrinking forest, these elephants are facing problems in searching food and water which compel them to reach out to the villages in herds and create havoc there, destroying property and crops.” - Deccan Herald -
