Indian wolf predations on domestic livestock were investigated by a questionnaire survey in four villages of the Hadagarh Wildlife Sanctuary, Eastern India. Most local inhabitants were subsistence daily wage laborers in addition to livestock rearing and agriculture as a secondary source of income, with an average livestock holding of 14 animals per household. Reported losses due to Indian wolves averaged 1.1 animals per household in one year of study, constituting 7.6% of total stock-holding, representing in monetary US$ 3491.Keywords
