Last week, I engaged in an animated conversation with a Kenyan biodiversity expert who has specialised in elephant research. In her years of working with these amazing pachyderms, she has observed their remarkable intelligence, profound wisdom and deep familial ties.
“I have never seen an electric fence that elephants cannot destroy,” she chuckled. She said they once watched a herd of elephants approach an electric fence. The animals stood stock still, feeling the current in the earth vibrating through their feet.
