The Taita Hills region is located in southern Kenya, near Tsavo East and Tsavo West National Parks, where human-elephant conflicts have been significant due to elephants raiding crops in unfenced farmlands. Local farmers have adopted innovative solutions like beehive fences and crop diversification to sesame, supported by organizations like Save the Elephants. Kenya records 30-35 annual human deaths from such conflicts, making these conservation efforts crucial for both wildlife protection and human livelihoods in this East African nation known for its rich biodiversity and wildlife tourism.
