CHASING ELEPHANTS CREATES MORE ISSUES: EXPERT WARNS
Daily Mirror - Sri Lanka
|November 24, 2025
Despite wildlife officials expressing confidence on the ongoing efforts to drive wild elephants out of Hambantota villages, Environmental law expert Dr. Jagath Gunawardana said it’s only worsening the human-elephant conflict rather than resolving it.
Speaking to Daily Mirror, he said the practice of chasing elephants from one area to another only aggravates the problem, as displaced herds move into new villages, triggering fresh confrontations.
"These drives don't solve anything - they only create more issues," he cautioned.
