TL;DR Summary

A wild elephant named Arikomban, who had killed seven people, has been relocated to a tiger reserve in southern India after a legal battle and protests from locals. The elephant had been causing damage to buildings and having run-ins with humans due to loss of habitat and fragmentation. While the government called the mission a success, activists say the debate points to a larger issue of human-wildlife conflict and cannot be solved by displacing one animal. India has close to 30,000 wild elephants, and conflicts with humans are common due to habitat loss.
