As people all over the world celebrate World Elephant Day on August 12, 2018 the village of Seronga in the Eastern Okavango Panhandle will host a one-hour theatrical production called, Life With Elephants.

This is a region where 16,000 people share space with 18,000 elephants. Villagers there know first-hand the challenges of living with elephants and the play will be in three acts, presenting the villagers’ stories of stewardship and coexistence.

Ecoexist hosts the event, with support from USAID, Worldwide Wildlife Fund (WWF)-Namibia, and The Howard G. Buffett Foundation.
