Abstract

Proactive policies for coping with problem tigers should be included in tiger conservation efforts. Otherwise, conflicts between tigers and humans could erode support for tiger conservation among the local people in tiger range areas. Teams should be trained and equipped to respond to incidents involving problem tigers. The tiger should be classified as a predator rather than a 'man-eater.'
