Why is it important?
It was found that local people had understood various aspects of Hyaena ecology. Sixty-five percent of the people responded that the Hyaena entered human populated areas due to an absence of food in the natural forests and habitat degradation. A total of 19% of the respondents reported killing carnivores including the Hyaena due to human-carnivore conflicts.
Perspectives
This study was conducted in the human dominated Terai (lowland) landscape to document the attitudes of the local people toward Hyaena conservation.
