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 ...

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).

Patterns of crop raiding by primates around the Budongo Forest Reserve, Uganda
Wildlife Biology, 2005 (Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Crop raiding by primates in particular and wild animals in general is a significant source of people-forest conflict around the Budongo Forest Reserve, Uganda. Crop loss to wild animals undermines local support for conservation efforts in this area.

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 ...

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 ...

Competition during sugarcane crop raiding by blond capuchin monkeys (Sapajus flavius)
Primates, 2018Shifting to fallback food (FBF) consumption and crop raiding are behavioral adjustments that support primates' ability to endure in human-altered habitats. Nutritional models predict that the consumption of preferred foods leads to increased competition, while consumption of staple fallback foods results in decreased competition.
