Conflict between elephants and community members frequently lead to use of reactive measures, such as chasing elephants, capture and translocation, but these often fail to resolve conflicts on a sustained basis. This case study reports the long-term work developed in Valparai plateau in the Anamalai hills (India) to display where elephants and people could maintain permeable spaces with simple but participative measures through the systematic implementation of early warning systems.
