Question

Which of the following is NOT a measure for preventing human-tiger conflict?

• A. Teach people about tiger behaviour
• B. Advise humans not to hunt tigers
• C. Use tiger proof fencing
• D. Establish rapid response teams

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Advise humans not to hunt tigers

"Advise humans not to hunt tigers" is NOT a direct measure for preventing human-tiger conflict.

While it's essential for people to be educated about the importance of protecting tigers, advising not to hunt is more of a general conservation message, not specifically aimed at reducing the conflict between humans and tigers. Human-tiger conflict typically arises from issues like tigers preying on livestock, encroaching on human settlements, or feeling threatened by humans.

Some measures for preventing human-tiger conflict include:

• Tiger-proof fencing to protect villages and farms.

• Rapid response teams to address conflicts quickly.

• Crop insurance to offset losses caused by tigers.

• Education about tiger behavior and safety precautions.
