Description
When people cut down forests to make room for roads and towns, they also cut into the food supply for wild animals. In parts of Asia and Africa, elephants have ruined crops and destroyed homes while searching for food.
Host Peggy Wehmeyer talks with World Wildlife Fund's Matthew Lewis on what can be done to stop rampaging elephants.
