Elephants are increasingly loathed by farmers due to their destructive behaviors as human populations encroach into elephant habitats. This intersection leads to significant human-elephant conflict.
Since the mid-1990s, elephant populations in Tsavo, Kenya have soared from around 6,000 to nearly 15,000 by 2021, showcasing a substantial conservation success.
The conflict between humans and elephants has become the leading cause of elephant deaths in Tsavo, highlighting the pressing need for innovative solutions such as utilizing African honeybees.
A project by Save the Elephants has introduced an intriguing deterrent—African honeybees—that protect crops while keeping the elephants at bay, promoting coexistence.
