Kenya’s farmers turn to beehive fences to keep crop-raiding elephants away, creating a surprising path toward human-elephant coexistence

Dedicated to researching elephant ecology and behavior, Save the Elephants operates vital research facilities. Their Samburu research station is home to over 900 identified elephants, while a center in Tsavo works on innovative human-elephant coexistence strategies. One notable solution is the use of beehive fences, which protect agricultural lands and help communities thrive. The organization is committed to securing a brighter future for elephants on a rapidly changing continent.
