Adaptations of crop-raiding baboons in Kenya
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1976AbstractA field study of baboon behavior as it relates to crop‐raiding was conducted on the Kenya Coast. The results proved useful for quantifying the distribution, movement, and other factors of their behavior. Such variables as troop organization, crop season, and the behavior of the farmers influence raiding behavior.

Elephants in the garden: Financial and social costs of crop raiding
Ecological Economics, 2012Abstract Residents near protected areas disproportionately bear conservation costs, in part due to crop raiding by protected animals when protected areas are situated within an agricultural landscape. These costs increase as conservation efforts lead to recovery of animal populations, and human population growth increases the proportion of land ...

Crop-raiding and Commensalism in Olive Baboons: The Costs and Benefits of Living with Humans
, 2010 We investigated the causes and consequences of crop-raiding for the ecology and life-history of two troops of olive baboons studied in Nigeria’s Gashaka Gumti National Park over 8 years. Kwano troop feeds entirely on wild foods whilst the Gamgam troop regularly consumes crops grown within its home-range.

Movement tortuosity and speed reveal the trade-offs of crop raiding for African elephants
Animal Behaviour, 2020 Animals living in heterogeneous landscapes are often faced with making a trade-off between maximizing foraging success and avoiding risk. Using high-resolution GPS-tracking data, this study explored the fine-scale movement patterns and risk sensitivity ...

The conflict between humans and wildlife often arises from crop raiding and has a significant impact on both subsistence humans’ livelihoods and long-term wildlife survival in developing countries. The study aimed to identify crop-raiding wild animals, the prevalence of crop damage, and the conflict resolution mechanism.

CROP RAID ANALYSIS; CROP WISE: AT NAGARAHOLE FOREST BUFFER VILLAGES
2019Elephants entering into human habitat in search of food has become a serious issue along the Nagarahole forest fringe. Although many measures have been taken to control the menace of elephants, it still persists due to human mistakes. Especially elephants are highly fond of eating human food crops such as paddy sugarcane ragi maize, banana and so on ...

Mitigating crop raiding by forest elephants and baboons at Kibale National Park
African Journal of Ecology, 2022AbstractIn Africa, most protected forests are in densely human‐dominated landscapes where human–wildlife conflict is intense. We documented farmer perceptions and responses to crop‐raiding wildlife from Kibale National Park, Uganda. Crop raiding was mostly (95%) by baboons (Papio anubis) and elephants (Loxodonta africana).

AbstractTemporal patterns of crop raiding by elephants were studied for 13 months in 1996/1997 at Kibale Forest National Park, Uganda. To determine the influence of environmental factors on the timing of raiding, we tested for correlations between crop raiding patterns and the quality of natural forage within the forest as well as crop availability ...

Assessment of Crop Loss Due to Elephant Crop Raids and Its Eco Friendly Mitigation
UTTAR PRADESH JOURNAL OF ZOOLOGYThe crop raiding by elephants is one of the important concern causing loss of livelihood and affects the farmer’s economy. Hence a study was conducted to estimate the crop losses and to evolve an economically feasible mitigation measures. The studies were conducted in villages belonging to Kodihalli and Uyyamballi Hobli of Kanakapura Taluka, Ramanagara

Testing a model for predicting primate crop-raiding using crop- and farm-specific risk values
Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 2010Crop-raiding by primates is increasingly known to cause conflict between humans and primates, and due to their opportunism, adaptability, intelligence and manipulative abilities, primates can be significant agricultural pests. Levels of crop-raiding are dependent on time of year, crop type, size and location of the farm, and primate species involved ...
