Can We Live with Giants?

Season 2 Episode 6 | 5m 14s

In Kenya, elephants and humans often live side-by-side — but not always peacefully. Shane meets David Mwiti, a farmer impacted by crop-raiding elephants, and John Pameri, a security expert at Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, who helps prevent conflict. With fences, GPS collars, and deep community investment, Lewa is rewriting the rules of coexistence between people and megafauna.
