IFAW is working to fix this issue across East and southern Africa through our Room to Roam initiative. We’ve engaged landowners across a wide landscape to lease their land for elephant conservation. We also work with local communities to support their needs through climate-resilient, wildlife-friendly livelihoods, agroforestry, clean water access, and climate-smart agriculture—all of which can prevent further competition between humans and elephants and encroachment into their habitats. In addition, we support the training and equipment of rangers, who work on the ground to monitor elephants and prevent poaching.
