“Whenever I think of conflict between humans and elephants, I think it's in the mind. My organic space is in conflict with my imagined space.”– Nishant Srinivasaiah, Frontier Elephant Programme.

The Bannerghatta National Park is situated right on the outskirts of the city of Bengaluru, which is one of the fastest-expanding urban centers of the last decade. This episode explores the challenges of communities and elephants living in and around the eco-sensitive zone around the Bannerghatta National Park. They experience shifts in climate, food systems, development, and forest management, all of which are altering their traditional ways of living and relationships with one another.

The Landscape Has Changed For Them Too explores the ancient cohabitation of people and Asian elephants in a beautiful recognition of the land rights of both humans and more than human, and how climate change is experienced as a dual and connected trauma between elephants and people sharing the same lands. This podcast is the final episode of Season 1 of our award-winning Land Body Ecologies Podcast.
