A Forest Department meeting in Kerala, held in 2025, revealed that while human fatalities from wildlife encounters are relatively low compared to other states, public perception and political pressure significantly amplify the issue, with the department classifying human-wildlife conflict on ecological, political, and social levels. The state has identified twelve major conflict zones, including Aralam and Wayanad, where factors like poor settlement planning and proximity to major wildlife reserves contribute to encounters. In 2024-25, 67 human fatalities were reported, with snakebites accounting for nearly 50% and occurring predominantly in non-forest areas, though compensated by the Forest Department. Elephant attacks caused 19 deaths, mostly within forest areas and affecting tribal communities. Despite these figures, data over the past 15 years (2011-present) indicates a clear downward trend in man-animal conflict fatalities, dropping from 145 in 2016-17 to 67 in 2024-25, with snakebites comprising approximately 75% of total deaths during this period.
