This alarming situation, caused by these wild animals from the forest areas of Okwangwo division of Cross River National Park and Takamanda National Park in Cameroon, has brought untold hardship and fear to our people. Many farmers can no longer access their farmlands due to the constant threat posed by these dangerous creatures.The continued killing of citizens and destruction of farmlands by these elephants has severely impacted the local economy and food security. Even as we speak, these wild animals continue to ravage farmlands in Bamba and surrounding communities in Eastern Boki, worsening the plight of our people.If urgent measures are not taken by relevant authorities to protect the affected communities and their farmlands, frustrated locals may resort to self-help, endangering both human lives and the already threatened elephant population.
