The states of Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat recently witnessed wolves and crocodiles crossing over from their natural habitat to human settlements. The recent human-wildlife overlap comes even as states, such as Kerala and Chhattisgarh, frequently grapple with elephant attacks and their movement into residential areas. Experts blame habitat loss and climate change for these occurrences.

"Whenever there's a situation where there is a grave danger, local wildlife warden can use their powers, but consciously. But, we constantly work to save the jungles, their animals and their ecosystem," he said.
