Reducing conflict and fostering coexistence between elephants and people
People and elephants have similar needs. They both require water, food, space, and safety. Where these needs and access to these resources overlap, heightened competition occurs, which can lead to negative and sometimes fatal confrontations. Finding solutions that allow both people and elephants to satisfy their needs, while reducing these negative interactions is critical if we are to ensure coexistence in shared landscapes like the Okavango Delta.
