No matter how much forest we clear, no matter how many trees we cut, no matter how many rivers, we dam… when are we gonna learn? This Elephant is standing in a cultivated field, facing off against the machines that destroyed her home and will inevitably destroy more of her forest. “Elephants are hungry and large, and like humans, they exert a tremendous influence on their environment. They engineer it. Their dung carries seeds and produces mushrooms and nutri-ents. When the forest is cut, they go hungry. Farms filled with pineapples and tightly packed produce are too much to turn away from. They strike in the night and can level an entire person’s livelihood in a matter of hours. I once met a man who lost $25,000 worth of bananas to a single male elephant plundering them in the night. I’ve seen footage of villagers out with torches and pitch-forks, throwing fireballs and fireworks and rocks at elephants. Farmers use poison. They electrify fences to levels capable of killing a pachyderm. In many ways, it is an all-out war between humans and elephants. And that is to say nothing of the millions of other animals that also exist in the jungle jungles that elephants call Home. Just imagine all of the tigers, frogs, bats, butterflies, bison, snakes, lizards, and on and on… all losing their homes”. —Junglekeeper: What it Takes to Change the World, by Paul Rosolie
