The social behavior of elephants at Uda Walawe and Minneriya National Parks was studied by creating photographic identification files of individual elephants and collecting behavioral and demographic data. Workshops for wildlife managers were conducted and information disseminated while working to engage communities likely to experience conflict with elephants which building relationships leading to better management and awareness of the elephants.
