TY - JOUR PY - 2022// TI - COVID-19 lockdown and distressed reverse migration enhance human-tiger conflict in Sundarban: An eco-psychiatric observation JO - Indian journal of psychiatry A1 - Chowdhury, A. A1 - Roy, S. A1 - Brahma, A. SP - 418 EP - 422 VL - 64 IS - 4 N2 - COVID-19 lockdown enforced distressed reverse migration in Sundarban, which caused an unprecedented population addition to the already devastated fragile Sundarban ecosystem. Acute poverty and food crisis prompted many migrants to explore forest-based living, thus enhancing fatal human-tiger conflicts. Families of deceased migrants face significant mental health trauma and catastrophic psychosocial consequences. © 2022 Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications. All rights reserved.
