Jamie Wasserman of Guru Travel talked to campers about helping Asian Elephants and Sri Lankens get along. Farmers who were displaced into central Sri Lanka during the civil war have their farms raided by elephants passing through and eating crops. To help the farmers and the elephants at the same time Ms Wasserman encourages the planting of orange trees around the farms. Elephants don't like the citrus and the farmers will be able to sell the fruit when the trees are large enough. We learned that Asian elephants have a very different situation than African elephants due to their lack of tusks. Check out Guru Travel at the website. Just search Guru Travel.
