Our study titled “The balancing act: Maintaining leopard-wild prey equilibrium could offer economic benefits to people in a shared forest landscape of central India” used an occupancy framework to provide baseline information on patterns and determinants of leopard occurrence and conflict in a human-dominated landscape. We also examined the role of wild prey in offsetting livestock depredation based on leopard diet. In their letter to the Editor, Naha et al. raise concerns about our study, claiming that our methods are inaccurate, and that our inferences are exaggerated. Here, we provide detailed responses to the issues raised by the authors, as we do not find any merits in their claims and reiterate the accurate interpretations of our findings.

我们的研究题为“平衡行为：维持豹子-野生猎物的平衡可以为印度中部共享森林景观中的人们提供经济利益”，该研究使用了居住框架来提供有关人类豹子发生和冲突的模式和决定因素的基线信息。占主导地位的景观。我们还研究了野生猎物在抵消基于豹子饮食的牲畜掠夺中的作用。在Naha等人写给编辑的信中。引起对我们研究的关注，声称我们的方法不准确，并且我们的推论被夸大了。在这里，我们对作者提出的问题进行了详细的回答，因为我们在他们的主张中没有发现任何优点，并重申了对我们发现的准确解释。
