Human-wildlife conflict (HEC) represents a major challenge for elephant conservation, as it not only fosters negative attitudes towards elephants, but also has socio-economic consequences.

This study examines African savannah elephants’ (Loxodonta africana) responses to drones. Across 35 trials, elephants showed initial disturbance but habituated both short- and long-term, with minor activity changes persisting.
The Elephants and Bees Research project is one of Save the Elephants' innovative programmes designed to explore the natural world for solutions to human-elephant conflict.
Human-elephant conflict (HEC) in the form of crop-raiding, is a major conservation challenge to the long-term survival of elephant populations, simultaneously threatening the livelihoods and personal safety of people living in proximity to elephants.
Natural habitats are rapidly being converted to cultivated croplands, and crop-raiding by wildlife threatens both wildlife conservation and human livelihoods worldwide.
Abstract Natural habitats are rapidly being converted to cultivated croplands, and crop-raiding by wildlife threatens both wildlife conservation and human livelihoods worldwide.
Land outside of gazetted protected areas is increasingly seen as important to the ?future of elephant persistence in Africa.
Long‐term bio‐logging has the potential to reveal how movements, and hence lifehistory trade‐offs, vary over a lifetime. Reproductive tactics in particular may vary as individuals' trade‐off current investment versus lifetime fitness.
Honeybees are globally recognized for products such as honey and wax, and as valuable pollinators of both natural ecosystems and agricultural crops.
Poaching is the most immediate threat to African elephants (Loxodonta africana). Several continental‐wide surges in poaching have occurred since the latter half of the twentieth century, and the latest surge occurred from 2007 to 2012.
As human and elephant populations grow in Kenya so does human-elephant conflict. One of the most substantial contributors to this conflict, the crop-raiding behavior of elephants (Loxodonta africana), is alleviated through the use of The Elephants and Bee
As our ancient jeep bucked and jolted to a stop on the steep bank, I caught a glimpse of the thickly forested edge of Wasgamuwa National Park and wondered, not for the fi rst time on this trip, if some of the wild elephants that inhabited this part of the
