A farmhouse built on top of trees with bamboo ladders seen at Akuk village area under Wokha district, Nagaland. These hut-on-trees acts as a safety measure for the farmers from wild elephants trespassing on their fields time and again, while foraging for food. It also serves as a watchtower to scout for wild elephants coming from afar. Due to loss of their habitats, the elephants have been encroaching into human habitation. Reports of conflict between the humans and the pachyderms have been reported frequently from Wokha district. (Photo by Steve Odyuo/Natural Nagas)
