CLASHES BETWEEN FARMERS AND WILD ELEPHANTS IN SRI LANK IS PROMPTING RENEWED EFFORTS FOR PEACEFUL CO-EXISTENCE Clashes between wild elephants and farmers in Sri Lanka are increasing as rangers and villagers work to find ways to avoid conflicts that can lead to death and devastation on both sides. A Guardian UK photo-essay spotlights the struggle to compromise between Sri Lanka’s need to feed its growing population and 2,500–4,000 elephants that need to feed themselves. Reports the Guardian: “Sri Lanka … has by far the highest density of elephants in the world. It is also the fifth for human density. Coexistence between humans and elephants is becoming rapidly more difficult every year.” #SriLanka #Elephants #GuardianUK
