RE-HAB PROJECT:

·       This Re-Hab project was launched by the Assam Government on December 06, 2021.

·       The aim of this project is to reduce the Human – Elephant conflicts.

·       The key Species of this programme is Bee. That is, the human and elephant conflict was to be reduced by using Bees.

COURSE OF THE PROJECT:

·       In this project lot of “bee fences” will be created near the conflicted areas.

·       These bees dissuade the elephants from the human places without harming them.

·       Comparing to other resolving methods, this method is very cost effective and efficient.

·       On the Other hand, It has other Economical benefits also.  It improves the honey production and increases the income of the farmers.

·       It will also help to tackle the other environmental problems, and improves the bio-diversity, and helps to reduce the climate change.

HOW DOES THE PROJECT WORK?

·       Under this project, the amount of bee boxes has to be placed in the human and forest adjacent places.

·       Almost 15 to 20 bee boxes had to be placed in one region.

·       Reason for this technique is, the buzz of the bees irritates the elephants most.

·       This project will be implemented by Khadi and Village Industries Commission. It is a Statutory body established by Khadi and Village Industries Commission Act of 1956.
