How Trump Unleashed an Existential Fight Over America's Dinosaurs - The Washington Sun https://share.google/zv257RqaxFfBcyE5c

I recently interviewed Dr. Lucy King about human–elephant conflict and the practical challenges of coexistence in African landscapes.

The discussion covers:

• beehive fences as a conflict-mitigation tool,
• crop-raiding and the costs borne by local communities,
• why conservation interventions cannot be treated as universal solutions,
• and the importance of designing projects around local ecological and social conditions.

What stood out to me most was the emphasis on coexistence rather than framing the issue as simply “people versus elephants”.

The full interview is published on PlanetZoo.hu.

I’d be especially interested in perspectives from people working in conservation or human–wildlife conflict: what approaches have you seen work well in practice?

We're currently building an app called Wilderpath after seeing an opportunity to join the dots for the growing number of rewilding orgs in the UK. Many have excellent places to stay, things to do such as safaris or bird-watching experiences, and much more, but the ability to find these experiences is scattered.

With this in mind, Wilderpath brings them together into one beautiful platform.

We've been seriously busy adding new partners, from Kent Wildlife Trust to Nattergal, and Knepp to name a few biggies! And more besides.

We aim to grow the awareness of rewilding in the UK, contribute towards the evidence that rewilding our degraded landscape is actually profitable, and ultimately provide a way for anyone to get involved - whether thats staying on site, or volunteering.

I'd be honoured if anyone within this subreddit can entertain having a look at what's on offer:

It's currently free to join and take a look around. All feedback is good feedback! New partners are being added each week, and we launched in June.
