PROBLEM STATEMENT :

 The wild animal in uttarakhand destroy cash crops.

 Sustain interest of small and marginal farmers in hilly areas of
uttarakhand.
 Requires technological intervention for protection of their
agriculture crops from wild animal.
-:DESCRIPTION:-
 The effects of low prey density in the forest due to
natural or man created situation, deforestation and
human intervention is causing animal migration
towards the human habitats especially in the areas
which come in forest territory.
 As per the survey report of FRI Dehradun,
Uttarakhand, The State of Uttarkhand recorded forest
area of 38,000 Sq km which is 71.05% of its total
geographical area of 53,483 Sq km that is largely
facing the real issue of human-animal conflict.
 The animals are crossing the borders and destroying
the agricultural crop of small and marginal famers in
hilly areas of Uttarakhan
 A published report of 'Wildlife management, Uttarakhand
Forest Government of Uttarakhand' reported that the rate of
human —animal highly being seen during cultivated time.

 The highly encountered wild animals at this time are —

monkeys and wild boars, they destroy the agriculture cash
crops such as — rice, pulses, wheat and vegetables, etc.

 The issue is raising agricultural disinterest amongst small

and marginal farmers and directly impacting their
livelihoods. To sustain interest of small and marginal
farmers in hilly areas of Uttarakhand, requires
technological intervention for protection of their agriculture
crops from wild animals.
GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

 The geographical area of the state is 53483 sq. km and the

terrain and topography of the state is largely hilly with large
areas under snow cover and steep slopes.

 The state is represented by biographic zone 2B Western

Himalaya and 7B Shiwaliks consisting of Kumaon and
Garhwal regions.
 Total Forest cover area in the state is 3.47 million ha
constituting 71% of the State’s Geographical area. The forest
diversity of the state comprises of Tropical Moist Forest (500-
1000m) which is Terai and Bhabar belt of Sub Himalayan
Tract, Sub-Tropical Pine Forest (1000-2000m), Himalayan
Moist Temperate Forest (2000-3000m), Sub-Alpine Forests
(3400-4000m) and Alpine Forests 4000-5000m.

 Rich heritage status supported by a rich floral diversity,

vegetation, forest cover, healthy and pristine ecosystem and
tremendous conservation efforts from species level to genetic
level and to ecosystem level. .
 Why do we need this system?
Number of farmers in
Champawat dist. has tumbled
down from 34,338 at the time of
the state’s formation in 2000 to
31,791 in 2017 -- a decline of
7%, the district agricultural
office said.
“A key reason behind farmers
leaving traditional occupation of
agriculture in the district is the
menace of wild animals which
has gone out of control... the
animals eat up the hard work of
the farmers,” S Kumar, district
agriculture officer.
