Pachyderms through Pencil: Children’s Perception and Understanding of Human Elephant Conflict and Coexistence

The
study was conducted among young children from the villages near the migratory
corridor of the elephants, by employing draw and write method which is a subjective
yet effective method in understanding the perception of the young stakeholders
on complex issues like HEC, coexistence and conservation. The young respondents
expressed negative interaction between humans and elephants, and also the
vulnerability indicators. The discontent among young children was evident and
it could further erode the future stakeholders’ traditional and cultural
connect that contributes to safeguard future of wildlife. Content analysis of the
drawn sketches complemented by subsequent discussion in the context of their
production provided profound and in-depth insights into the complex situation.
