At the foot of Chyulu Hills in Kenya, an area famous for its wildlife and the Maasai people that call it home, getting the (balance) right between the two has always been a delicate task. As more people farm in the region the strain on wildlife increases.
Around 80% of Africa's elephants live (outside) of protected parks in the wild. One conservation group has turned to local communities in an attempt to find solutions to everyday problems so man and beast can live peacefully.
"You know, that elephant that we are (seeing down) there now, the chances are that last night he was out raiding a field -- or if you go out and see a lion I guarantee you within the last week he has probably killed something belonging to one of the landowners here," explained Richard Bonham, conservationist and founder of the Maasailand Preservation Trust.
The Maasai people are a pastoral tribe living (along) the border of Kenya and Tanzania. Their long-preserved culture and traditional way of life has made them one of the area's most famous tourist attractions.
But conflict (between) the Maasai tribe and the region's elephants is on the rise and can lead to tragedy.
