Modern Technology to Resolve Human-Elephant Conflict – President
Posted by Editor on July 31, 2020 - 8:24 am
President Gotabaya Rajapaksa said modern technology will be utilised to resolve the long simmering human-elephant conflict.
He said technology will also be used in such a manner not only to save the cultivations of rural folk from attacks of wild elephants, but also to protect the lives of scores of people who live in human-elephant conflict prone areas.
He added he had already given the necessary instructions to officers from the Wildlife Conservation Department to use modern technology to accomplish these aims, after having sought guidance from experts in the field of environment.
He noted that due to the haphazard construction of fences, the human-elephant conflict had aggravated.

He wouldn’t have a clue !
Modern technology. Beat some tin cans and set fire around the premises.
Don’t worry Gota. After August 5th, the Elephants will go to the jungle and will never return. This time around the Red-elephants will be reduced to 2 per cent.
Of course he does not know that is why he consulted experts in that field. How about giving the president some credit for trying to do something. Or are u guys just politically biased.
Mr Stanley Fernando. I am not politically biased. He became the president as he knows the answers to all the problems. So far he is only talking and only hot air just like his predecessors.
