Man shares life lesson after elephant destroyed his home

The man shared how he lost his home to an elephant and how he has started to coexist with these giants. His story was shared by IFS Mudit Verma.

As human-animal interactions grow, it becomes crucial for us to embrace the ways of the wild and deepen our understanding of these creatures. This mutual understanding not only ensures the safety of animals but also benefits humans. In light of this, consider the perspective of a man who lost his home to an elephant, and his advice on coexisting with these creatures.

Indian Forest Service officer Mudit Verma shared about his driver, Kamal, and how he lost his home. He wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter) “Our driver Kamal Ji was telling how last year an elephant destroyed his house. And I was amazed when he said, 'It was my mistake. Had I not kept a bunch of bananas in my house, it would have not come.’ We are trying to learn what people here already know. Love & co-existence.” (Also Read: How army men at Assam’s Narangi military station ‘co-exist’ with wild elephants)
