Some of you may find this not only interesting, but also give some thought to the continuous man-elephant conflict in Assam. This conflict is becoming more intense as the population is growing rapidly, and forest lands are either being depleted or encroached. The article is a bit old, but still appropriate. There are also some great photographs. One particularly caught my attention (a bit of levity, if you will, in an otherwise serious situation) - we had always heard that elephants love moonshine (Lao-pani), but didn't quite realize that this is more than just a story. Do they really get drunk? That would require a whole lot of the stuff, I presume:) --Ram
