In the Siana region of the Massai Mara, shrinking elephant corridors are increasing the amount of human-elephant interactions as they vie for the same resources — sometimes resulting in human-animal conflict. The film profiles a group of Elephant Aware Rangers working as a part of the Elephant Aware Conservancy to prevent future conflicts. The rangers educate communities on elephants’ importance to the ecosystem and how elephant and man can coexist.
