Project RE-HAB uses âbee fencesâ to dissuade elephants from entering human habitations.
Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) has launched a âbee-fencesâ project to mitigate human-animal (elephant) conflict in the country.
The objective of Project RE-HAB (reducing elephant-human attacks using bees) is to thwart elephant attacks in human habitations using honey bees and thus reducing loss of lives â humans as well as animals.
The pilot project was launched yesterday (15 March) at four locations around village Chelur in Kodagu district of Karnataka by KVIC chairman Vinai Kumar Saxena.
