#SriLanka #HumanWildlifeConflict - Who Should Deal With The Human-#Elephant Conflict? (Article Here)
"This piece from Sri Lanka gives an understanding of the severity of the situation through many parts of Asia. Elephants and leopards (of the large mammals) are in frequent conflict with people, with many lives lost on both sides, this is a deadly serious wildlife issue. Re mitigation strategy, if people feel and are safe, they are far less likely to retaliate. Thus the issue has a high economic stability (poverty) factor. Until this is addressed properly we are simply in a holding position, the world has to wake up to this if these species are to have a future... #PovertySucks"
