Progress of the Human-Elephant Conflict (HEC) Mitigation Project

After a brief hiatus caused by the strict ban on inter-provincial travel due to the spread of Covid-19 in the Island, we are happy to report that the team is back in action at the site! Work on the sluice gate of the water tank has recommenced and, once completed, will play a crucial role in water distribution for cultivation and irrigation in the area. Fortunately, the construction delay has not been too much of an issue as the water levels in the tank are currently low due to the prevailing drought. We are happy to report that the project is still on track to be operational by the time the seasonal rains arrive in October. The grassland management phase is due to begin once the tank is filled by the rains and field observations will be done soon after the remaining movement restrictions between the provinces are lifted.
