It possesses a grave threat to their continued existence. The conflicts have become a serious issue of concern and are a threat to local community livelihoods, safety and wildlife conservation efforts.

A more urgent immediate problem for elephants in Kenya and Africa at large is the increasing trend in elephant pouching apparently fueled by a rise in the price of ivory and proliferation of illegal uncontrolled markets. There is urgent need for redress of the human elephant conflict in Taita Taveta County in order to safeguard local community livelihoods and enhance wild life conservation in this respect, increased community awareness on the importance of wildlife (elephant) is necessary. These efforts will benefit from using appropriate technology such as the “Ndovu Care” gadget which will help in locating the elephants.
