Minister of Wildlife and Forest Resources Conservation Pavithradevi Wanniarachchi stated that a new policy will be formulated to address the ongoing elephant-human conflict.
She expressed these views July (19) during a press conference themed ‘Collective Path to a Stable Country’ held at the Presidential Media Centre (PMC).
“Our Ministry has prioritized resolving the human-elephant conflict as soon as possible. Our aim is to provide solutions for this through short-term, medium-term and long-term plans. So far, the Ministry has conducted several workshops to provide guidance for that” she added.
They hope to establish a permanent strategy to prevent the elephant-human conflict by incorporating the previous efforts taken to manage this conflict.
She further commented, “Some have accepted that the elephant fence is a solution to prevent wild elephants from invading villages. Given the current financial situation of the country, it will take some time to complete these activities”.
