She says that initially, one of the goals was observing elephants in the area where electric fences were planned to be installed, and once the elephants were  moved there, the goal was to survey the conflict at that point. They currently have 36 cameras.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Dr de Silva, like other researchers, believes that the only possible solution to the conflict “is coexistence.” With her work, she is seeking ways in which people and elephants can continue to share space “while meeting the needs for security on both sides.” \u003Cstrong>Coexistence means “both economic and physical safety,”\u003C/strong> she clarifies.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Since elephants are attracted to the grass of rice fields, dr de Silva is now exploring whether adopting \u003Cstrong>alternative cropping different from rice\u003C/strong> in certain areas could be a way to minimize the conflict.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>In early 2020, Trunks & Leaves began to test, together with a company exporting spices and essences,  \u003Ca href=\"https://maximus.trunksnleaves.org/2020/02/19/incense/#more-1878\">developing a type of incense stick\u003C/a> that could ward off the elephants. If it worked, it would not only improve the security of those families but would mean some extra income. They started trials “but \u003Cstrong>had to stop due to the COVID-19 pandemic\u003C/strong>.” “We had also to push back trials of the alternative crops because of the pandemic, and we will start them in January 2021 hopefully,” she adds. She aims  to work together with some villagers to find other livelihood options.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Because “one thing that you see repeatedly over and over again for different reasons is that you have  elephant habitat and right next door, a thing that is very attractive to elephants – rice crops.” \u003Cstrong>“So you place a temptation right in the middle of elephants’ habitat, and what do you expect animals to do?”\u003C/strong> she questions. “And that is encouraged in some cases by government policies for irrigation development, providing water to grow certain kinds of crops,” she adds.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>While searching for solutions, “we cannot forget people,” she continues. Because “the most impacted people in this conflict are the poorest people in society, the farmers who don’t have anything other than the land, farming and crops to sell.” Some families in the Udawalawe area \u003Ca href=\"https://maximus.trunksnleaves.org/2018/08/12/the-folly-of-fences/#more-1589\">barely live on 200,000 Sri Lankan rupees\u003C/a> (about \u003Cstrong>915 euros\u003C/strong>) \u003Cstrong>per year\u003C/strong>, according to a Trunk and Leaves survey.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>“These vulnerable people are also the most exposed to elephants,” de Silva adds. “So, you have the discrepancy between the people who want to preserve elephants for environmental\u003C/strong> or academic reasons or conservation, \u003Cstrong>who are mostly urban and educated, and the people who have to live with elephants\u003C/strong>,” dr de Silva concludes.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>They are people like Mrs Neelamma, Damyathi and her family, Mr Sirisena, the village officer Ruwan and their communities, and so many other Sri Lankans.\u003C/p>\n",{"ID":1566,"id":1566,"title":1567,"filename":1568,"filesize":1569,"url":1570,"link":1571,"alt":15,"author":62,"description":15,"caption":15,"name":1572,"status":31,"uploaded_to":826,"date":1573,"modified":1573,"menu_order":35,"mime_type":1000,"type":1001,"subtype":1002,"icon":1003,"width":1574,"height":789},68654,"Coexistence-Watermarked2-1","Coexistence-Watermarked2-1.mp4",5143718,"https://cdn.outriders.eu/stories-content/2021/05/Coexistence-Watermarked2-1.mp4","https://stories-content.outridersklub.com/en/inside-elephant-territory/coexistence-watermarked2-1/","coexistence-watermarked2-1","2021-05-05 15:15:34",1444,{"text":1576,"photo":16,"video":16},"\u003Cdiv class=\"credits\">Text, pictures and video interviews: Lola García-Ajofrín\u003Cbr />\nAdditional photography: Marcin Suder and Kanchana Kumara Ariyadasa\u003Cbr />\nDrone footage: Sisira Sampath\u003Cbr />\nCamera trap: Shermin de Silva\u003Cbr />\nInteractive production team: Lola García-Ajofrín, Marcin Suder, Piotr Kliks\u003Cbr />\nDesign: Tina Xu\u003Cbr />\nWeb development: Piotr Kliks\u003Cbr />\n© 2021 Outriders\u003C/div>\n","skip video",{"ID":1579,"id":1579,"title":1580,"filename":1581,"filesize":1582,"url":1583,"link":1584,"alt":15,"author":1585,"description":15,"caption":15,"name":1580,"status":31,"uploaded_to":826,"date":1586,"modified":1586,"menu_order":35,"mime_type":65,"type":37,"subtype":66,"icon":39,"width":1587,"height":383,"sizes":1588},202139,"slonieen","slonieen.png","24667","https://cdn.outriders.eu/stories-content/2021/05/slonieen.png","https://stories-content.outridersklub.com/en/inside-elephant-territory/slonieen/","103","2023-03-01 08:08:06",638,{"thumbnail":1589,"thumbnail-width":43,"thumbnail-height":43,"medium":1590,"medium-width":45,"medium-height":1591,"medium_large":1583,"medium_large-width":1587,"medium_large-height":383,"large":1583,"large-width":1587,"large-height":383,"1536x1536":1583,"1536x1536-width":1587,"1536x1536-height":383,"2048x2048":1583,"2048x2048-width":1587,"2048x2048-height":383,"fullhd":1583,"fullhd-width":1587,"fullhd-height":383,"facebook":1583,"facebook-width":1587,"facebook-height":383,"square-small":1592,"square-small-width":51,"square-small-height":383},"https://cdn.outriders.eu/stories-content/2021/05/slonieen-150x150.png","https://cdn.outriders.eu/stories-content/2021/05/slonieen-300x99.png",99,"https://cdn.outriders.eu/stories-content/2021/05/slonieen-500x210.png","public","https://cdn.outriders.eu/stories-content/2021/05/elephants-cover-short.mp4","Sri Lanka records the highest number of elephant deaths in the world.
