...by keeping the elephants from trampling crops and farmland.
 
I just learned about this project by Save the Elephants in East Africa to build fences out of beehives; fences that then keep elephants away from farmland. Elephants can do significant damage to farmland. Finding ways for elephants and humans to peacefully co-exist is one of the aims of this group.
