Man vs Elephant Promo

Elephants, the largest land animals, are majestic creatures. But farmers here see them as lumbering pests. Human-wildlife conflict in Kenya is becoming a bigger threat to elephants than poachers. On the Kenyan side of Mt. Kilimanjaro, Amboseli National Park is home to more than 1600 elephants. Yet the park itself is only large enough to sustain several hundred. The rest migrate through private conservancies, grazing land and the expanding commercial farms springing up along a new highway linking Kenya and Tanzania, foraging for food and trampling farmers’ tomato and corn fields.

As the elephants ply their ancient migratory routes, conflict is inevitable. After an elephant killed a Maasai herder at a watering hole for cattle, his friends speared five pachyderms in revenge. Kenya’s wildlife vets had to scramble to patch up the victims.
