The african elephants were hunted until 1989, when the ivoryban partly stopped the hunting. After this, when there was no hunting pressure anymore, and human settlements got larger and elephant envoronment smaller, human-elephant conflict increased, and more poor farmers were killed, and so was the elephants. There was almost no hunting at all th last 20 years, during a time when elephant aggressivness has increased. Today, the asian elephant is, once again, increasing in numbers. The african elephant is in some parts of africa increasing with over 8% per year. It very easy, when noone shoots elephants, they will of course try to eat the tasty maize or likewise for the farmers. They have no fear anymore. An annual hunting of 10% will keep the elephants away from the villages. We can not walk away, and leave poor families who lost their father and income. Also those people has to be cared for. And so the elephants. Theres a strong need to find a balance between the two of us, man and elephant. Unfortunately we cant leave them alone in order to reach that balance. And believe me, no god has anything to do with this. Elephants were cought in Asia until late seventies. The african elephants were hunted until 1989, when the ivoryban partly stopped the hunting.

I admire that. I also admire how fearless you always are in matters of the heart. Maybe someday I'll learn how to do that. And blanch a tomato.

Why is it that we always ended up going the wrong way down a one-way street? I feel like that only happened with you. Yes, Michael, you’ve gotten the worst of it, I’m afraid.
