Crop Raiding Elephants: Preventing Human-Elephant Conflict in Southern Sumatra
http://www.wcs.org Where farmland surround wilderness on the Indonesian island of Sumatra, relations between local people and wild elephants can be tense. Hungry elephants raid farmers' crops, and the results—ravaged fields and angry farmers seeking revenge on the animals—can be devastating for both parties. To help ease these conflicts, the WCS-Indonesia program has developed an innovative solution: a Crop Protection Unit, made up of local community members. The members of the squad work in and out of Way Kambas National Park, where 33 villages directly abut the natural forest habitat of elephants.
