Protecting Lives Through Coexistence

South Asia faces the world's most severe human-elephant conflict, with devastating consequences for both species.

As habitat fragmentation forces elephants into human settlements, dangerous encounters on roads have become increasingly common. Drivers often have no warning of elephants crossing ahead, leading to fatal collisions that claim lives on both sides.

• Habitat Loss Rapid development has fragmented traditional elephant corridors, forcing wildlife onto roads and into villages.
• Night Crossings Elephants frequently cross roads at night when visibility is poor, leaving drivers with no time to react.
• No Warning Systems Current infrastructure offers no advance warning to drivers in high-risk zones.
