What backs it

Hatikhuli Ronghang village in Assam, working with conservationists Pradip Kumar Bhuyan and Binod Dulu Bora, converted 66 acres to crops and Napier grass for wild elephants. Over 100 elephants were peacefully guided to feed, ending crop raids; today over 300 elephants pass safely through annually without raiding farms.
