Abstract

In the Valparai plateau in southern India, encounters between people and Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) are common and sometimes they result in conflict. Building on almost a year of fieldwork, this book presents a polyvocal account of how the Nature Conservation Foundation along with other actors such as the forest department, workers and management of tea plantation companies and ordinary residents engage in a range of care-ful and caring practices that enable people and elephants to share space and cultivate a sense of interspecies sociality.
