Question How might the loss of forest cover and changes in rainfall patterns lead elephants to enter human farms and villages? (Page 190)
Loss of forest cover reduces vegetation and habitat space, while changes in rainfall patterns can dry up waterholes, making food and water scarce in elephants’ natural habitats. As a result, elephants wander into nearby farms and villages in search of crops like bananas and sugarcane, leading to crop damage and potential harm to humans and animals.
