What do you do when the elephants arrive : keep calm and work together / Gail C. Potgieter

T H E Omatjete community in Erongo has threatedut to kill elephants that come to their area if the government does not intervene in the increasing human-elephant conflict they are enduring. Water points were also upgraded to solar with pipelines and taps being installed, so the people do not have to go to boreholes, but can enjoy water supply at the settlement. Special water points have also been set up for the elephants, away from people's homes. In addition, lucerne for livestock is now being stored in a concrete storehouse, instead of clay storehouses, which the elephants could easily break apart. The ministry will also start collaring the elephants to monitor their movements, and plan how to deal with them.
