Abstract Since the origin of the protected area network, authorities have resettled people in the interest of wildlife conservation. However, the impacts of resettlement on wildlife corridors connecting increasingly insular protected areas and the interaction of resettlement with existing human-wildlife conflict (HWC) outside of protected areas remain unclear. Using Kanha National Park (KNP) in central India as a case study, we quantified impacts of 450 households (that were resettled from 2009 to 2013, surveyed in 2016) on non-protected forests at their new settlement locations. We measured forest use for cattle grazing, tendu leaf extraction (a commercial non-timber forest product) and consumption of forest foods. We also quantified HWC risks that resettled households face at their new settlement locations. We use published spatial analyses on designation of the corridor and risks of human wildlife conflict in conjunction with our data to assess post-resettlement impacts at the new settlement locations. Overall, most resettled households (330) have moved to existing villages that lie outside of wildlife corridors around KNP. They comprise

移民安置和景观保护:印度中部的走廊、人与野生动物冲突和森林利用

摘要 自保护区网络起源以来,当局为了野生动物保护的利益而重新安置了人们。然而,重新安置对连接日益孤立的保护区的野生动物走廊的影响以及重新安置与保护区外现有的人类与野生动物冲突 (HWC) 的相互作用仍不清楚。我们以印度中部的坎哈国家公园 (KNP) 作为案例研究,量化了 450 户家庭(2009 年至 2013 年重新安置,2016 年调查)对其新定居点的非受保护森林的影响。我们测量了森林用于放牧、藤叶提取(一种商业非木材林产品)和森林食品消费的情况。我们还量化了重新安置家庭在新安置地点面临的 HWC 风险。我们使用已发表的关于走廊指定和人类野生动物冲突风险的空间分析以及我们的数据来评估新定居点的重新安置后影响。总体而言,大多数重新安置的家庭 (330) 已搬到位于 KNP 周围野生动物走廊之外的现有村庄。他们包括
