Elephant-Human Conflict: A Multivariate Ecological Approach to Understanding Crop Raiding in Kodagu, Southern India

This study attempts to address elephant-human conflict (specifically crop raiding) in an extensive multivariate framework by looking at several ecological variables (viz. spatial correlates, foraging behaviour and factors related to elephant demography) to better understand crop raiding behaviour in elephants in Kodagu, southern India.
