Think & Discuss
Urban Wildlife Coexistence: Conservation Success or Ticking Time Bomb?
Context from today’s quiz: Bengaluru was declared India’s Leopard Capital in 2025, celebrating the city’s unique situation where leopards inhabit forest patches within and around the metropolitan area. This recognition highlights both the successes in maintaining wildlife corridors within rapidly expanding urban landscapes and the inherent challenges of managing human-wildlife interactions in densely populated areas.
🤔 Your Perspective Matters
As Indian cities like Bengaluru celebrate urban wildlife coexistence and designate themselves as wildlife capitals, are we creating sustainable conservation models that demonstrate how urbanization and biodiversity can thrive together, or are we romanticizing a dangerous situation where inevitable human-wildlife conflicts—including attacks, deaths, and fear—are being normalized under the guise of conservation while adequate safety measures and habitat protection remain insufficient?
Should India prioritize expanding protected wildlife corridors and buffer zones even if it means constraining urban development and relocating some settlements, or accept that urban expansion will continue and focus resources on conflict mitigation, rescue operations, and community education rather than preventing encounters?
Should India prioritize expanding protected wildlife corridors and buffer zones even if it means constraining urban development and relocating some settlements, or accept that urban expansion will continue and focus resources on conflict mitigation, rescue operations, and community education rather than preventing encounters?
- When leopards regularly enter residential areas, schools, and public spaces in cities like Bengaluru, at what point does coexistence become an unacceptable public safety risk, and who bears responsibility when inevitable attacks occur—forest departments, urban planners, or residents encroaching on habitats?
- Should conservation narratives acknowledge that some human-wildlife coexistence situations are temporary and ultimately unsustainable, requiring difficult decisions about relocating either human populations or wildlife, rather than perpetuating the fiction that both can indefinitely occupy the same spaces?
- How can cities balance celebrating wildlife presence for tourism and environmental prestige while honestly addressing resident fears, implementing adequate safety protocols, and compensating victims of wildlife encounters without being accused of prioritizing human convenience over conservation?
