Elephants threaten Galo community in Northern Liberia 

Elephants are terrorising the town of Galo and its surrounding farms in the far north of Liberia.

The invading elephants around Galo first reportedly attacked and destroyed rice paddies and other farms. They then moved into the town itself to eat up food from trees such as bananas and plantains.  

FDA officials are warning residents not to use firearms to confront the animals as they fear this could worsen the situation.

The agency responsible for managing Liberia’s forests, the Forestry Development Authority (FDA), has now dispatched a team to the northern county of Gbarpolu to quell the invasion.
