Ecoexist Trust

Everything we do at Ecoexist Trust is about finding ways for people and elephants to share space. We think about conflict and coexistence from many different angles. We focus on long-term planning and short-term interventions. We think about the needs of farmers at home and in their crop fields and we think about the needs of elephants and how they need to move across vast spaces and habitats. We strive to understand how people are living, what their aspirations and concerns are, what they need now and what they dream of for their children. And we strive to understand where, when, and how elephants are moving, what their feeding, drinking and movement patterns and behaviours are, and how their population is changing. We listen to people and, as best we can, we listen to elephants.
