Landscapes once roamed freely by elephants are under pressure from rapid development and as the human population grows, the space left for elephants and wildlife is shrinking. A new challenge has therefore emerged, and this challenge is how elephants and people can coexist in an increasingly crowded continent.
We know that coexistence is possible, and some of the practical steps that can be implemented include proper landscape planning and collaboration with governments and communities with our tracking data serving as a voice for elephants. In mixed landscapes where people and elephants are forced to live together, our Human-Elephant Coexistence Toolbox is a handy tool as it outlines over 80 tried, tested and sustainable methods on how to safely keep elephants at bay, all which can be adapted to suit different environments.
