Though the conflict between humans and wildlife started with the evolution of man, the intensity of the conflict has increased due to the activities of modern man. Justify your answer with suitable examples.

Answers (1)

Modern man is capable of doing many activities that were not possible by earlier species of hominid. Following examples illustrate this suitably:

(a) Modern man began agriculture. The land was cleared to make way for farming. This changed the climate in a dramatic way. Farming also increased the level of conflict between humans and wildlife.

(b) Modern man began industries and developed various infrastructures. Many natural resources began to be exploited to promote industrialization and construct buildings. This not only resulted in the exploitation of forests and wildlife but also created pollution. All of this disturbed the wildlife. Clearing large tracts of forest area to make habitat for human beings is very common these days.

(c) Railways revolutionized the way we travel. But trains are a big cause for loss of habitat and life for many wild animals.
