NAI — While the erection of an electric fence has proven effective in
resolving conflicts between wild elephants and people in this
southeastern province, it is not a long-term solution, experts said.
According to Đồng Nai Province’s Forest Protection Sub-Department, a herd of 16 elephants lives on some 42,600ha of land belonging to Cát Tiên National Park, Đồng Nai Natural and Cultural
Reservation Centre and La Ngà Plantation. In the past, conflicts between local farmers and wild elephants occurred regularly as the animals would approach residential areas and destroy local crops and orchards.
However, since the launch of the elephant conservation project in 2014, conflicts have decreased substantially.
Feeling secure with the installation of an electric fence, local residents have been proactive in investing in their gardens and fields and gaining large profits, VOV.vn reported.
