Investing in Communities to Conserve Elephants
Organization information

Location: Newtonville, United States of America
Summary
Farming communities living near forest edges can face serious economic hardship, with individual farmers standing to lose some or all of their annual yield and income to wildlife. Yet these lands are important foraging areas for animals, so it's paramount that people and wildlife live together. We are working with these front-line communities to test systems to enable farmers and elephants to coexist.
