摘要

大象威慑栅栏已成为缓解农业区人象冲突的流行策略。采用间作等气候智能型农业措施是否会影响大象的行为，从而影响这些围栏的效果，目前还不得而知。在肯尼亚南部进行的这项研究中，比较了间作和单作农田中 Kasaine 金属条形围栏的成功率。结果支持了之前的研究，因为卡萨因栅栏仍然有效，这表明采用间作种植不太可能大幅改变大象的觅食行为。

Climate-Smart Agriculture and Human–Elephant Conflict in Southern Kenya: Intercropping With Use of a Metal Strip Deterrent Fence

Elephant deterrent fences have become a popular strategy to mitigate human-elephant conflict in agricultural areas. It is unknown whether the adoption of climate-smart agricultural practices like intercropping could influence elephant behaviour and therefore the effectiveness of these fences. In this study in southern Kenya, the success of the Kasaine metal strip fence was compared between intercropped and monocropped fields. Results support previous research, as the Kasaine fence remained effective, suggesting the adoption of intercropping is unlikely to drastically change elephant crop foraging behaviour.
