There has been an increase in the human population living in or near to the 3.75km-wide Chilkiya-Kota Corridor, which is an essential area for big cats. This has resulted in clashes between the species, as tigers prey on cattle in villages on the edge of the corridor, coming into close contact with people who live in the area. In January 2011, a tiger that had been declared a man-eater was shot dead in the corridor by officials from the Uttarakhand Forest Department.
