A review discussing human-elephant conflict in Sumatran elephant conservation highlights the effect of land-use change on elephant mobility. The researchers analyzed 31 studies, primarily from India and China, finding that the main issue is not crop raiding but land usage and elephant movement. The review advocates for using computer models to predict conflict areas and for involving local communities in monitoring and addressing issues.
