Elephants are increasingly facing conflicts with humans due to competition for resources. Development of human settlements, the overgrazing of livestock on wildlife areas and infrastructure such as roads lead to the fragmentation of elephants natural rangelands leaving them to live on disconnected land. There are three primary issues that this creates, the first is a loss of habitat and land to roam for food and water. Elephants will naturally continue to move and seek sustenance along their well established corridors and if blocked by human activity, there will be conflict. Understandably poor and struggling rural communities, are resentful and may use deadly force to defend their homes, crops and livestock or retaliate. The second is that is it not healthy for genetic diversity as the decreased movements reduces breeding opportunities. And the third is that unchecked livestock grazing eliminates grass, resulting in soil erosion and food insecurity, which fuels bush meat poaching.
