DEHRADUN: In a first in Uttarakhand, to prevent human-animal conflict, ‘Tentacle Solar Fencing’ has been installed in Gaindakhali village in Haldwani forest division in the vicinity of Nandhaur Wildlife Sanctuary.
Kundan Kumar, divisional forest officer, Haldwani forest division said, “The idea came to the fore after locals in the area shared their problems about attacks by elephants and other animals venturing into their fields and residential areas. We started working to find a way for the coexistence of humans with the wild. We humans share the planet with the wild and our policies should be such that they promote symbiotic relationship of the species.”
