People Feed Wild Elephants In Udawalawe, Sri Lanka
A wild tusker looks for food from the people in Udawalawe, Sri Lanka, on December 01, 2024. Sri Lanka loses over 400 elephants every year, mostly due to conflicts with humans as their habitats are destroyed. Forced to raid farms for food, many elephants are killed by gunshots, traps, or electrocution. These clashes also claim 145 human lives in 2023. Experts warn that without urgent action to protect habitats and reduce conflicts, Sri Lanka's wild elephants could face extinction. (Photo by Thilina Kaluthotage/NurPhoto)
