dc.description.abstractIn India, the increase in population of wild pig with no increase in forest area poses danger to the farmers of both small scale subsistence agriculture and international agribusiness. This leads to human-wild pig conflict (HWPC), the top most human-wildlife conflicts in India. There are cases of human injury and crop damage due to HWPC. Sometimes, the wild pigs also being killed by the farmers. Understanding local attitudes towards human–wild pig conflict is a key to developing successful conflict mitigation strategies. Hence a case study was conducted at the Krishnagiri district in Tamil Nadu, India to understand the extent of damage caused by wild pig to the farmers and their families in agriculture. The common reasons for the intrusion of wild pig into cultivable land are the changing cropping pattern, increased wild pig population, etc., The main strategies to mitigate the HWPC are solar fencing, wire net fencing and use of modern ICT tools to drive away the intruding wild pigs.en_US
