Thousands of residents in Indonesia’s Aceh province threatened to occupy the local parliament unless something is done about wild elephants attacking their villages, a report said.Someone send Howard Dean over there to organize a 50 Village Strategy to solve the wild elephant problem.
All jokes aside, the all-too-familiar situation there is really sad, since elephants are wandering into residential areas because their natural habitat has been reduced by deforestation. So now elephants are being killed even though they’re a protected species. Problem is, it doesn’t do much good to protect a species if you’re not going to preserve a place for them to live.
