WWI Study On Wolves To Trace Cause Behind Recent Attacks in Uttar Pradesh
From etvbharat.com:
Dehradun: After the recent wolf attacks, scientists from the Wildlife Institute of India (WII) are zeroing in on the number of wolves and their activities. So far, there has been no official census on wolves at the national level, and the initiative is gaining currency as this may reveal new facts about the animal.
Despite terrifying attacks that have claimed several lives in recent years, wolves are not enemies of humans. They play a significant role in biodiversity, especially agriculture, by indirectly helping farmers. This is because wolves control the number of wildlife in grasslands, such as Nilgai, Black deer, Wild boar and Chinkara. In this way, wolves are a boon for farmers to control the number of these wild animals that harm agriculture.
