The EPI Foundation, with the support of the Elephant Crisis Fund, is working with EWCA in Chebera Churchura National Park, to help alleviate human-elephant conflict. The situation of the Ethiopian elephant is critical and in most of their habitat, it seems that they are on the verge of collapse. Some of the threats that they face include human-elephant conflict, habitat fragmentation and degradation, poaching and encroachment. Human-elephant conflict has become an increasing problem in Ethiopia. Through the efforts and actions of the Ethiopian Wildlife Conservation Authority (EWCA), in partnership with the EPI Foundation, and other stakeholders, we can ensure that human-elephant co-existence will be a reality in Ethiopia.
