Having an early warning mechanism about approaching wild elephants in a hotspot of human-elephant conflict (HEC) can go a long way in saving lives of both human beings and wild elephants. Once warned of wild elephants’ presence in advance, the villagers can take steps in time to save their lives and minimise damage to their crops and property.
Premier biodiversity conservation and research organisation based in Northeast India, Aaranyak which works with a multi-pronged approach ranging from conducting research, outreach, capacity building and reversing habitat degradation for mitigation of HEC, has undertaken a novel approach through formation of a network of local communities called Elephant Conservation Network (ECN) in HEC hotspots.
