- W2188715021 abstract "radiate from the highlands like the spokes of a wheel. The island's longest river, the Mahaweli Ganga, is only about 33Okm long. The climate is strongly influenced by the monsoons. Despite its small size, Sri Lanka is the epitome of tropical fecundity in its plants, animals and people. It is biologically one of the richest and most diverse countries in Asia. 7ith almost 20 million people it is also one of the most densely populated countries in the world, where a rapidly expanding human population is being maintained essentially by an agriculture-based economy. The elephant has been so closely associated with Sri Lanka's history, culture, religions, mythology and even politics that it would be difficult to imagine the island vrithout it. Besides its dominant role in the ecosystem, the elephant also highlights many of the ecological, economical and philosophical issues underlying wildlife managemen! as a whole in the island. Given the small size of the islandandthe highhumanpopulation densityof 300 people/km2, elephants are finding it increasingly difficult to move about and adust their densities to the changing vegetation patterns. Expansion of agriculture and human settlements is leading to continuous contraction of habitat available to the elephant, resulting in the pocketing of elephant herds. Such pocketed elephants have no longterm future (Seidensticker 1984). Child (1995) argues that wild elephants are fundamentally incompatible with peasant agriculture unless the damage they cause can be compensated. However, the situation is somewhat different in Sri Lanka, where elephant Presence was found to be incompatible with irrigated agriculture, but compatible with traditional slash-and-burn agriculture (Fernando et al. inpress). The human-elephant conflict in Sri Lanka has reached alarmingly high levels during the recent past, and is the major cause of elephant mortality. IJnless the problem is resolved or mitigated, it will ultimately lead to the elimination of most elephants that range outside the system of Protected Areas (PAs), which amounts to a significant proportion of the elephant population. Vild elephants also often kill people and" @default.
