Despite India's history of compassion towards all living creatures, the human-animal conflict is getting worse with more urban development and human activity in areas otherwise occupied by wildlife. eShe editor Aekta Kapoor speaks to two representatives from Humane Society International (HSI) India, managing director Alokparna Sengupta and senior director Keren Nazarath, on the subject.

HSI is an NGO present in 50 countries, working to promote the human-animal bond, improve farm animal welfare, protect wildlife, and promote animal-free testing and research.
