Design of a quadruped robot for human–elephant conflict mitigation
Artificial Life and Robotics, 2013Human–elephant conflict is a major problem leading to crop damage, human death by elephants and elephants being killed by people. The surveillance and tracking of elephant herds are difficult due to their size and nature of movement. In this article, we propose a four-wheeled quadruped robot to mitigate human–elephant conflict.

Rethinking the Wild in Human-Elephant Conflicts
2022This paper focused on a particular event that unfolded in 2021, both online and in several villages in Xishuangbanna and Pu'er, where migrating wild elephants and humans came into contact and conflict. In examining the varied impacts of this event on elephants, villagers, Chinese netizens, and even plant species, I reconsidered the notion of "wild" for

Human–Elephant Conflicts in Northeast India
Human Dimensions of Wildlife, 2004Human population increases and development in Northeast India have reduced and fragmented wildlife habitat, which has resulted in human–wildlife conflicts. Although species such as tigers (Panthera tigris) and rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis) cause conflict, elephants (Elephas maximus) have become the focal point for conflict and conservation issues ...

In order to understand the reason behind elephant deaths, it would be desirable to first look at the broader issue of the intensifying human–elephant conflict. Humans and elephants have been coexisting for long, and even while humans have domesticated elephants for their needs, the two have always had separate areas for habitation.

The Elephant Vanishes: Impact of human–elephant conflict on people's wellbeing
Health & Place, 2012Human-wildlife conflicts impact upon the wellbeing of marginalised people, worldwide. Although tangible losses from such conflicts are well documented, hidden health consequences remain under-researched. Based on preliminary clinical ethnographic inquiries and sustained fieldwork in Assam, India, this paper documents mental health antecedents and ...

Design and implementation of in-situ human-elephant conflict management system
Journal of Intelligent & Fuzzy Systems, 2019Elephant play a major role in maintaining the ecosystem. Elephants move out of their corridor in search of food and water, result in rise of human-elephant conflicts. Human-Elephant conflict arises in different form such as destruction of field by elephants, elephants are runover by train, elephants getting electrocuted etc.

Characterising the Human–Elephant Conflict Zone
2016This chapter discusses the characterisation of the human–elephant conflict zone. The demographics of the study area is represented by a rural, agriculture-based population. About 92.63 % of the total population are rural; 61.5 % of the workers are cultivators; 88.1 % of the population are agricultural labourers; 31.7 % of the populace belong to ...

Integrated Design Research Journal
More-than-human design (MTHD) has emerged as a framework that repositions nonhumans as active participants in design processes, challenging human-centred assumptions and opening space for multispecies futures. Within this orientation, speculative design provides tools to imagine alternative trajectories and provoke reflection rather than deliver ...

Mitigating Human-Elephant Conflict in Southeast Asia
Tropical Natural HistoryHuman-elephant conflict (HEC) poses serious threats to humans and to elephants, and while HEC in Southeast Asia is increasing, mitigation effectiveness data are lacking. Previous assessments of available mitigation options have not compared relative benefits and impacts of each on a practical level to identify which factors should be considered by ...
