Golden jackal faces threat in its habitat
News:
- According to recent study, habitat destruction of golden jackals has led to man-animal conflict in Krishna District, Andhra Pradesh
Important facts:
- The conservation status of golden jackals is ‘least concerned’. The animal preys on wild crabs and fish
- The study shows that due to destruction of mangrove forest in Bandar Reserve Forest (BRF), golden jackals have been moving out its habitats. This has led to man-animal conflict.
- In 2017, the Vigilance Authorities had recommended the State government to provide 24, 363 acres under the BRF and BRF extension (I to IV) to the forest Department for protection. However, not much has been achieved in this regard
