Bees take on the duty to prevent crop field intrusions and foster peaceful coexistence of elephants and farmers in Thailand.<\/p>
The recent agricultural expansion in what was previously elephant territory led to more conflicts between majestic elephants and farming communities living on the outskirts of the old-growth forests. Both human and elephant populations are increasing and have a crucial need for vital resources such as water and crops. But conflict is not inevitable, and our mission is to ensure local communities find a peaceful way to prevent elephants from intruding on their territory. To fulfil this aim, the use of beehive fences is a win-win solution.<\/p>
Beehive fences can reduce crop damage by Asian elephants and generate supplemental income for farmers in Thailand. As such, they have the potential to prevent violent conflicts between people and the world\u2019s largest land animals and establish new forms of peaceful coexistence.<\/p>
