episode description
Elephant human conflict has been going on in India for decades. Only now it has increased because of the shrinking forests and the expanding human habitation. North Bengal with it’s fragmented habitat of tea gardens, human habitation and paddy fields is a hot bed of conflict. We follow an elephant flying squad which is responsible for keeping the elephants away from these human dominated landscapes. The film follows the squad mostly in the night when the elephants come out of the forests and attack the fields. Over 100 people are killed in West Bengal and a third probably in these parts. The motely group of 5-6 people manage herds of over 30-40 elephants every night playing with their lives each night.
