Human-Elephant Conflict Working Group (HECWG)

Products of the Human Elephant Conflict Working Group

Since its inception, the HECWG has focused its efforts in identifying priority topics in human-elephant conflict, developing "tools" for managing conflict situations as well as commissioning a series of studies to gain greater insights into various aspects of human-elephant conflict situations. For a summary of key lessons learnt, see the Evolution of the Human-Elephant Conflict Working Group and Synthesis of Key Lessons Learned (PDF - 182 Kb).

Detailed reports, tools and technical briefs developed to date by the HECWG are available in PDF format, as detailed in the links below:
