Beehive fences as a multidimensional conflict-mitigation tool for farmers coexisting with elephants
Author(s) King Lucy et al.
Year of publication 2016
Increasing habitat fragmentation and human population growth in Africa has resulted in an escalation in human-elephant conflict between small-scale farmers and free-ranging African elephants (Loxodonta Africana). This article tested the efficacy of a beehive fence design to keep elephants away from invading small-scale farms, as part of the 10-year Conservation and Management Strategy for the Elephant in Kenya implemented by the Wildlife Service (KWS) in 2012.
