Imagine waking in the middle of the night to an elephant ripping the roof from your house in search of food. This is a reality in some communities in Africa where, as wild spaces shrink, people and elephants are competing for space and resources like never before. In this engaging talk, zoologist Lucy King shares her solution to the rising conflict: fences made from beehives that keep elephants at bay while also helping farmers establish new livelihoods.

    • Not while the evil sabbatean frankism devil worshipping Rothschild family is ruling the world. Right now people are being prepared for global warming while we are at most a few decades away from the new ice age. Everyone is going to fill their homes with fans and then freeze to death. Just existing peacefully with other humans is a near impossible challenge while evil satanism rules the world.

    • I mean, let’s first deal with the evil New World Order led by Israeli cabal using the USA as a global attack dog. I feel like 99% of the worlds problems would disappear with the execution of the entire Rothschild family and removal of the central mafia banking system.

  1. This was great.

    Only thing, it felt like TED told her she had to leave a message about woman for her to be allowed to give her talk about elephant solutions.
