This paper evaluates interactions between humans, Wild Boars, and crocodiles in mangrove ecosystems of the villages of Benakanda, Bhateni, and South Jambu in Mahakalapada Block in the Kendrapada District of the Indian state of Odisha, using questionnaire surveys. This is an area where mangrove restoration is currently in progress. Using a targeted sampling procedure, 280 respondents representing 14% of the population participated in the study. The results show that negative perceptions differ throughout villages, with a majority of respondents reporting interaction between humans and animals in Bhateni (91%) and South Jambu (98%). The most frequent animal reported to cause harm to crop and livelihoods is Wild Boar (44%). Communities understand the value of mangrove restoration despite facing obstacles brought on by interactions with wildlife. The vast majority of residents (87%) believe that restoration efforts were necessary, and many had taken part in these by themselves, or in conjunction with other communities.
