Bangladesh Vows Stronger Measures to Curb Human-Elephant Conflict
Original: Bangladesh vows stronger measures to curb rising human-elephant conflict
Bangladesh says it will strengthen measures to address growing conflict between humans and elephants, as encounters between communities and wild elephants rise in the country's forest-edge regions. Officials point to habitat loss and shrinking elephant corridors as key drivers of the problem. Conservation groups have long urged better protection for both villagers and the country's endangered elephant population.
Why now: Rising incidents of elephants entering villages and farmland are putting pressure on the government to act.
