[ABSTRACT] Sri Lanka has a high population density (320 per 1 sq km in 2015), where over 5,850 (2011) wild elephants also live, and human-elephant struggle is aggravating in for the limited land. A government report has reviled about 200 elephants are killed by famers, while about 50 peopl are killed by elephants every year. Manyorganizations are taking various measures to defuse this grave conflict, though a significant success is yet to achieve. In a previous study, MODIS satellite images were applied to identify human-elephant high risk areas in a selected region of Sri Lanka. The present study will move further to identify island wide high risk areas of human-elephant conflict using MODIS products. The methodology is linked to the trends in seasonal changes of vegetation greenness caused by dry and rainy seasons. Also, ground information and very high resolution Google Earth images will feed into GIS analysis to map the forest area accurately. The forest map and available elephant attack information will use to detect where wild elephants roam and to close proximity with villages and farmlands. The identification of high－risk hotspots can be verify using past and future human-elephant conflict records. The findings of the study will suppot local level decision makers to identify high-risk zones, and take precautions to minimize the occurrences of human-elephant conflicts.
