Sri Lankan elephants are visiting landfill sites

Unfortunately, in many parts of the world wild animals and humans are coming closer and closer in where they live. Due to our wasteful lifestyle, our leftovers can provide good pickings for wildlife though this often leads to conflict.

Elephants in some parts of Sri Lanka have started visiting human waste dumps looking for food. This often leads to them eating things that they cannot digest and so can make them ill or kill them

A forest is replanted after minister is found to have illegally cleared it

This story is extremely encouraging. Around the world, large plantation companies often encourage small holders to clear the land and then buy it from them.

This area of deforested land was within a protected area, and should never have been cleared

The idea that this behaviour of getting other people to clear the land is permissible is insane. I personally would like countries to punish illegal clearance by always requiring full reforestation at the cost of the guilty party – this would likely end the scourge of illegal deforestation (then we must start working on so called legal deforestation)

We need your help! Our aim is to become a simple marketplace for areas of wilderness and the people that live there, making it simple to financially benefit from wildlife that lives on your doorstep; whether you work as a wildlife guide, or provide hospitality for those who visit these areas (camping, hotel, rental, food) - or indeed on private land. Our website will only get paid if we succeed, as we take a small percentage of earnings through the site. Please join us - spread the word as you travel to wildernesses everywhere.
