Project ‘Orange Elephant’
The Project ‘Orange Elephant’ (POE) was established to encourage farmers to cultivate crops such as oranges (which are not attractive to elephants) so that they have an alternative income when elephants destroy their rice crop. Since they have a supplementary income, the farmers will feel less hostile towards elephants for destroying the paddy harvest. The POE received the Most Innovative Development Project Award from the Global Development Network in June 2015.
