Minister for Agriculture and Livestock Development, Ramnath Adhikari, has stressed the need for a three-tier government collaboration to implement effective programmes aimed at mitigating human-wildlife conflict. Speaking at the inauguration of a workshop on "Wildlife Management: Challenges and Solutions," organized by the Nepal Japanese Society Alumni Association in Lalitpur today, the Minister stated, "Human-wildlife conflict has become a severe challenge for society. The issue has intensified due to the growing human population and its impact on wildlife habitats and food sources. As a result, animals are increasingly entering human settlements in search of shelter and food."
