What is the nature of the human-elephant conflict as we see it today? It’s important to note that Sri Lanka, a country that was home to more than 20,000 wild Asian elephants has reduced its population to 4000. People living in rural areas have encroached into wildlife habitat and this has created problems between humans and elephants. There is a large hue and cry among farmers for destroying their agricultural crops and houses. With the reduction of habitats in forests and water sources being depleted, most of the elephants have shown a greater tendency to wander into newly cultivated areas in search of food. This intractable problem should be taken into consideration because Sri Lankan elephants are an iconic constituent of the country’s wildlife. Those who wish to experience an elephant safari can consider amazing Sri Lanka guided tours offered by some of the leading tour operators such as Cinnamon Nature Trails.
