In this episode of *War on Nature*, conservation photojournalist Paul Hilton documents the escalating human-elephant conflict in and around Wasgamuwa National Park in Sri Lanka.

For generations, elephants have followed instinctive migration routes through the landscape. Today, local communities are attempting to alter these ancient movement patterns as they struggle to coexist with one of the world’s most iconic and threatened species. This episode offers a close look at the challenges facing both people and elephants as development, habitat pressure, and changing landscapes bring them into increasing conflict.

Hilton, one of the world’s leading conservation photojournalists, has spent years documenting the threats facing elephants and other endangered wildlife. His relationship with Global Conservation spans more than a decade.
