Man and animals are continually at odds over habitat and food requirements due to the expanding human population and the loss of natural environments. This topic has been acknowledged as a severe challenge by several countries. It is significant to many people. There are numerous human communities. Because they are located in thickly forested areas, forest communities are the most sensitive to this problem. The points where human needs and those of wild creatures collide In the Ajara tehsil, located in the southern part of the Kolhapur district of Maharashtra. However, no comprehensive research on man-wildlife conflict in these villages has yet been conducted.
