IUCN Bangladesh started a project with a view to minimize the human-elephant conflicts in and around the Kutupalong Camp. During 21 January – 13 February 2018, IUCN Bangladesh engaged a trained elephant survey team to find out the elephant presence and population size, recent human-elephant conflict situation, and possible intervention spots in and around the camp in Ukhia, Cox's Bazaar. The IUCN team surveyed approximately 70 square kilometers of bare hills around the camp. The survey revealed that elephant movement was frequent around the camp area, with the highest concentration all along the western boundary. A total of 56 spots for installing watch towers were identified.
