Thanks BBC Learning English...🙏
I love BBC English channel
Elephants coming from private ranches and national parks might rub shoulders with you on your farm, and this may not be great. These elephants might raid your crops. It has become a way of life for the elephants and the farmers. This could spell trouble for the farmers because they won't earn from their crops. It is an example of a human-wildlife conflict.
Thanks 😊

How can this information help in improving my English

But I thought in cartoons, elephants were scared of mice and ants. I didn't know that elephants were afraid of bees in real life. What a win for the farmers! Their crops are saved, and they also get honey!

My summary while listening
As human populations increase, natural habitats decline, and humans are animals are being forced to compete for space. Wild animals could endanger humans when they break into farms to look for food or water. Humans might be forced to attack and even skill animals to defend their homes. This situation is known as "human-wildlife conflict". In this program, we'll be discussing an ingenious farmer keeping his food safe from wild animals.
According to Victor Ndombi, a food security officer, during the crop or rain seasons, farmers usually experience crop raids caused by elephants from private ranches and national parks. Elephants love maize and beans that are grown by farmers so they come and eat the nutritious vegetables. That is considered the way of life there.
However, elephants do spell big trouble for farmers since they destroy crops and livelihoods. A fully grown elephant can weigh as heavy as six cars on top of each other. The solution is bees since elephants are scared of them. Victor's team installed beehive fences or even a recording of bees buzzing can keep elephants away.
What is the English level of this program?
I think exercise is very vital for our physical health. It should be a way of life in our daily routine. We can rub shoulder with someone and do exercise together. Because if we don't try to improve our health in some ways, it will spell trouble in our future life.
giving my sentence to that, tge Elephants often raid the farmer crop during the crop season in Africa for the sake of water and variety of crops such as beans, .And the human are likely to kill the elephants in order to defense themselves ,so,this might be the start or beginning of a conflict between human and elephants. Additionally, the elephant can weight the same as six cars,so, there is no wonder they could destroy farm grown vegetables and livelihoods.The elephant spells trouble for the farmers as well.However, Victor's team find a unique way to get the elephant away by installing beehive fences not hurting the animal directly.
I have learned that Elephants are afraid of bees.

Deforestation for highway and agriculture zone is the main causes that elephants evade from their former habitat to stroll in shallow forest in rural area and consume human crops and plantation.They occasionally attack approaching human. They are one of ingenious creatures that know how to overcome any obstacles even electrical fences,they can assess our threat and have particular relationship between each members in their own herd.
This chronical issue occured for ages in some provinces of Thailand which have area vicinity national park with massive forest such as Khao Yai national park or Khao Ang Rue-nai national park
