I have no clue on how to keep elephants out, though. Chicken wire?
- omegaworks 7y agoLooks like this farmer does it by creating a corridor for them filled with the things they want: starfruit, elephant apples, watering hole etc. If the desire path for the elephants falls outside the normal tea operation, then they won't interact with the tea farm. Seems like a lot of land to set aside and design, hopefully he is able to make up for it in exposure and tourism.
- GrayShade 7y agoI doubt chicken wire would work: > Elephants learn by trial and error what sorts of materials do and do not shock them in their efforts to break through electric fences — and in at least one recorded instance (described in Lawrence Anthony’s The Elephant Whisperer [2009]), followed the buzzing of the fence all the way around to its origin, the generator, which, having been stomped to smithereens, allowed them to untwine the fence and go their merry way. https://www.thenewatlantis.com/publications/do-elephants-have-souls https://www.thenewatlantis.com/publications/do-elephants-hav...
