SIKKIM: WWF-India Installs Solar Fencing in Sikkim to Restrict Human-Wildlife Conflict

The World Wide Fund for Nature-India (WWF) has installed solar fencing in two villages in Sikkim as part of the Forest Department’s Securing Livelihoods, Conservation, Sustainable Use, and Restoration of High Range Himalayan Ecosystems (SECURE Himalaya) project, which is funded by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

This decision was made to reduce human-wildlife conflict, which has risen in recent years as a result of diminishing ecosystems, changing land-use patterns, urbanisation, deforestation, and an expanding human population, among other factors.

The barrier has been installed at Chongri village in West Sikkim and Bitchu village in North Sikkim by the concerned department. These two villages, according to sources, are frequently attacked by wild animals. Barking deer, wild boars, and porcupines wreak havoc on Chongri village, which sits on the edge of Khangchendzonga National Park. Bitchu Village in Lachung, on the other hand, is in a constant battle with the Himalayan black bear.

The routes that wild animals typically take to enter farmland have been identified for solar fencing installation. These fences encompass an area of around 0.2 hectares of farmland on three sides. Following previous talks with the owners of these farmlands, the sites were discovered.

Local youths from East Sikkim’s Talkharka village, Sewan Rai and Navin Rai, worked alongside WWF-Pemba India’s Tshering Bhutia and Rikchen Zimba on this project. They were all taught by WWF-India as part of a previous initiative in Talkharka to handle human-wildlife conflict.
