Communities in Northern Uganda face escalating human–wildlife conflicts as expanding settlements and agriculture encroach on protected areas such as Kidepo Valley National Parks. Elephants, hippos, and buffaloes frequently invade farmlands, destroying crops and threatening lives. According to the Uganda Wildlife Authority (2023) and NEMA (2022), over 80% of incidents involve human injury, crop destructions, with annual losses exceeding UGX 4 billion, while 30–40 people are injured or killed each month. The problem is worsened by drought and habitat loss, which drive wildlife into community lands.
