The Regional Manager gave the advice when Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen of Apexnewsgh.com contacted him on Monday to find out his office preparation ahead of the yearly elephant destruction of crops in some farmlands within the Eastern and Western corridor of the forest reserved.
Meanwhile, explaining some of their activities, Mr. Binlinla said: “One of the things we have been doing is to teach farmers what to do to protect their farms and there are some basic things, for instance, farmers just tying a rope around the farm will scare elephant away from the farm and there are testimonies of farmers who have done that over the years and have successfully harvested their crops”.
He advised that farmers maintaining a presence on their farms when their crops are getting ready will scare the elephants away from coming near their farms.
