This project addressed the critical issues of elephant conservation, management and conflict mitigation in the Ramanagara Forest Division of Karnataka, which is witnessing high levels of elephant movement and at times severe levels of elephant‐human conflict. In this project we plan to enable protection of crops from elephants in an 'elephant‐friendly' and cost‐effective manner. This not only tackles the issue of human‐ elephant conflict but also that of food security in regions where humans and elephants share space and resources.
