Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) officers collar a darted elephant in Murchison Falls National Park, in Northern Uganda. The exercise, sponsored by Total Uganda, is aimed at fostering a healthy human-wildlife relationship. With the collar, the movement of elephants is monitored on phone, tablets and laptops so that they cross from the park into communities neighbouring the parks where they can potentially destroy crops and fruits. Veterinary doctors of UWA can monitor and identify elephants from a chopper. The darting needle has medicine that can drowse the jungle giants. Collaring is one way of conserving elephants and other animals which are normally killed by community members when they cross over. Photo by EDGAR R. BATTE
