Hello Maureen, this is really interesting, i like it. Am from Botswana, the country that has big population of elephants and high human elephant conflict. i like it where you emphasis community needs first approach and species needs second. oftentimes, we make mistake by putting animals' needs in front and forget the needs of the people we want to co-exist with wildlife. i wish to learn from you how you address this issue of human elephant conflict in Kenya.
