Conservationists in Cambodia have made an agreement, which should see elephants living more peacefully along with human neighbors. Villagers living near elephant’s territory have promised they will not harm animals or disturb their surroundings. In return, local farmers are receiving help from officials to keep the elephants away from their crop and farm.

Whenever animals live close to human environment there are human-elephant conflict as villagers develop and expand their land elephants lose their surroundings. So it becomes more likely for animals to wander into fields destroying crops and rarely attacking humans and livestock. This situation held to danger for many wild elephants in few countries. Conservationists are keen to prevent elephant and they are experimenting in Cambodia. Elephant’s number is to arise after decades of war and deforestation. Organization Fauna and Flora International is trying to maintain peace between people and pachyderms. This will help villagers to develop their funding through small business like chicken farming as an alterative of clearing forests. Organizations also advice villagers various tactics to keep elephant away from field. Matt Maltby  FFI’s elephant protection scheme has advised to grow different types of crops one line of defense such as chili fences around the boundaries of fields. Elephant does not like chilies so naturally they will turn other way. If that does not work then to deploy solar- powered electric fences however, the shock will not harm elephant.
