Abstract

Despite Jammu & Kashmir's beautiful scenery, there have been incidents of violence betweenpeople and local animals. Local people and wildlife such as snow leopards, Asiatic black bears, and reddeer have intricate relationships that are explored in this research. These animals are representative of theregion's biodiversity, yet they often compete with humans for food, shelter, and other resources. Theresearch draws on ecological and anthropological theories to investigate what causes these conflicts andhow they could be prevented.
