As rural communities grow in Africa and Asia, they are increasingly developing homesteads and croplands in areas that were previously open habitats where wildlife, such as elephants, migrated. This has led to increased interactions between humans and wildlife, often leading to conflict. As elephants move through transition zones between conservation areas and developing communities, they often enter the communities to raid crop fields and water stores. This increases negative community sentiments towards elephants and elephant conservation, which hurts the chances for successful, sustained elephant conservation work. In partnership with the Butterfly Pavilion, the Katie Adamson Conservation Fund, and the Tanzania Elephant Foundation, Lorna will be using her Conservation Nation grant to reduce human-elephant conflicts in Tanzania by constructing beehive fences, a proven elephant conflict mitigation tool. Beehive fences use elephants’ natural fear of native African honey bees to keep elephants out of farms. The hives also provide a supplemental income for communities through the sale of wax and honey, so that community groups can eventually self-manage the fences.
