Whether it is an Asian elephant, African Forest elephant or African Savannah elephant, ALL elephants are incredible and important to our world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">With only 40,000-50,000 left in the world, Asian elephants have surviving populations in just 13 countries. Known for their smaller ears, rounded backs, and single \u201cfinger\u201d on the ends of their trunks, Asian elephants have lived alongside humans for thousands of years. In fact 1\/3 of Asian elephants in the world live in some form of managed care whether in protected preserves, National Parks, or in human care. Habitat loss and fragmentation, competition for resources, and the resulting human-wildlife conflict is threatening their survival. In some regions it is predicted that Asian elephants could go regionally extinct within the next 10 years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Ravi Corea, founder and president of the Sri Lanka Wildlife Conservation Society (SLWCS) said he fears Sri Lanka might be on track to set a new unwanted record for the highest number of elephant deaths in a single year.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Elephant deaths last year hit an all-time high of 433, while human fatalities from these conflicts were also a record 145.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Methods to mitigate HEC in Sri Lanka..<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Common sense and a workable solution to the HEC, according to Dr. Pilapitiya would be a fence being where the protection is needed \u2013 at the boundary of developed areas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">With 44% of Sri Lanka seeing humans and elephants sharing the same landscape, he urges that the way forward from conflict to co-existence is clear. An electric fence should not be a boundary demarcation, but one that keeps humans and elephants separate. These fences should be on ecological boundaries and support from the people, politicians and other government agencies is essential for the DWC to implement this workable answer to the HEC.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">He suggests \u2018community-based fences\u2019 and \u2018seasonal agricultural fences\u2019, while reiterating that currently there are around 70 villages that are thus protected and co-exist with elephants in relative harmony, largely supported by CCR and DWC. This model has been tried, tested and perfected over 15 years by CCR.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Elaborating on \u2018seasonal paddy field fencing\u2019, he says after the harvest is gathered, transported and stored till the next season, the fences around the paddy fields come off, allowing the elephants to feed on the crop residue which is of no use to the farmer. Currently, there are around 25 paddy tracts or more thus protected and there is human-elephant co-existence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u201cLiving with elephants or co-existence is achievable, if we all work towards it,\u201d adds Dr. Pilapitiya.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-140429 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/World-Elephant-Day2.jpg\" alt=\"Asian elephants facing habitat loss and increasing conflict with humans in Sri Lanka.\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-140432 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/World-Elephant-Day5.jpg\" alt=\"Community-based fences promote coexistence between humans and elephants in Sri Lanka.\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-140431 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/World-Elephant-Day4.jpg\" alt=\"Strategies to mitigate human-elephant conflict through electric fencing in Sri Lanka\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-140430 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/World-Elephant-Day3.jpg\" alt=\"Sri Lanka Wildlife Conservation Society founder Ravi Corea discusses rising elephant deaths\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/elanka-newsletter-sign-up\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">Click here to receive your free copy of the eLanka Newsletter twice a week delivered directly\u00a0to\u00a0your\u00a0inbox!<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World Elephant Day \u2013 12th August 2024 &#8211; By Dhanushka Liyanage Source:- linkedin One elephant a day: Human &#8211; Elephant conflict deepens as death toll rises Today is World Elephant Day, a global celebration of what we think is nature\u2019s masterpiece\u2013the elephant.
