challenges to elephant territory

"One of the biggest challenges is that elephant territory is usually along buffer zones of wildlife reserves.

Elephants need to move constantly between feeding grounds and water source.

With rapid encroachment of buffer zones, we increase instances of elephant irk.

We need to understand that elephants are not predators.
They will not kill humans unless they feel threatened.
They may respond in aggression," says Dr. Dipankar Ghose Director of species at WWF - India.,
