5 ELEPHANTS, 6 HUMANS (INDIA)
In the last two months, 5 wild elephants and 6 humans have died in the man-elephant conflict in Barnadi Wildlife Sanctuary, Udalguri. This sanctuary alleges say that tea garden owners and their staff encroach forest land; spray chemical fertilizers and pesticides everywhere and dig deep trenches which are death traps for elephant calves.
