(b) if there is a relationship between land cover change and human–elephant conflict in the forest reserve areas. The results of this study will provide bases for assessing the sustainability and the management of the wildlife sanctuary and for taking actions to mitigate the degradation of the ...
Our study contributes to the economic literature on wildlife-carnivore management by applying the production function approach and to our best knowledge, no earlier study has applied this method to the analysis of wildlife-carnivore management. Empirically, it provides knowledge about the costs that ...
