Organized Guarding and Human-Elephant Conflict Mortality in NE India

This panel dataset, authored by Tanay Bhatt and hosted on Harvard Dataverse, evaluates the impact of organized guarding on human mortality rates resulting from human-elephant conflict in Northeast India. It includes the final processed data files and R scripts used to generate regression tables and figures for the associated research. The data was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the correlation between organized guarding interventions and human mortality rates
• Replicating regression models to validate findings on human-elephant conflict mitigation
• Visualizing spatial or temporal trends in elephant-related mortality using the provided R scripts

Strengths

• Includes R code for full replication of research findings
• Panel data structure allows for longitudinal analysis of conflict trends
• Focuses on a specific intervention (organized guarding) in Northeast India

Limitations

• Small geographic scope limited to Northeast India
• Total record count and specific temporal range are not specified in the metadata
• Dependent on the specific definitions of 'organized guarding' used by the author
