Although species such as tigers (Panthera tigris) and rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis) cause conflict, elephants (Elephas maximus) have become the focal point for conflict and conservation issues. This article presents several case studies to illustrate the diverse nature of human– elephant conflicts. Between 1980 and 2003, more than 1,150 humans and 370 elephants have died as a result of these conflicts. Although the public and government have taken steps, human population growth must be addressed before any permanent solutions to this conflict can be reached. Keywords human–wildlife conflict, elephant, fragmentation, conservation, India Introduction Northeastern (NE) India is comprised of several states, including Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura, Sikkim, and the northern parts of West Bengal. This region covers approximately 274,680 km2 (Figure 1) and represents a global biodiversity “hotspot” (Myers, Mittermeier, Mittermeier, da Fonseca, & Kent, 2000). The region is dominated by the Eastern Himalaya Mountains, the Meghalaya Plateau, hill ranges, the plains of the Brahmaputra and the Barak rivers, and the Manipur valley. NE India contains diverse habitat including grassland, wetland, swamps, tropical evergreen and deciduous forest, subtropical and temperate forests, and alpine tundra.

Phil Research Scholar, Department of Economics, Savitribai Phule Pune University, Pune, Maharashtra, India Abstract Tourism Industry plays a very important role in economic development of any region. It increases the employment opportunities, better communication facilities and reduces the poverty of any region. Karbi Anglong district is rich in natural and forest resources. The district is surrounded by the several hills and natural water falls which have an ample scope for the growth and development of tourism industry. In this district most of the tribal people practices jhum cultivation but in the jhum cultivation people are getting employed only for 3 to 4 month but remaining month of the year they are getting unemployed. So, with the development of tourism industry in the district, it can increases the employment opportunities of the local tribal people which will help to reduce the poverty in the district.

FOREWORD The Great Indian One-homed Rhino is the pride of Assam. The gigantic Goliath is an integral part of our culture and social fabric, like Bihu, Brahmaputra and Kamaksha. Many songs and legends are woven around rhino and Kaziranga. This imposing animal is revered as the 'Bahan' or carriage of Lord Bishnu. Assam takes pride in having more than 65% of the world's total population of the Indian Rhino. We affectionately call it Gorh. Kaziranga National Park-KNP, in upper Assam, is the prime habitat of this mega animal, and a prehistoric relic of ancient times. This protected area is also a symbol of effective protection given to this beautiful animal, whose population has risen from a meagre of 12 individuals during 1908, to more than 1,500 today. The total population of Great Indian One-homed Rhino in India and Nepal may now be about 2,500.
