Time and time again, man has looked to the animal kingdom for labor. Elephants were used as beasts of burden not so long ago. The armies of the Persian Empire, the Indian subcontinent, and Alexander the Great used adult male elephants in their war efforts.
Elephants can carry loads weighing over 500 kg, and humans have taken advantage of that strength to transport heavy loads or plow fields.
People regard elephants as one of Africa’s ‘top five’ wildlife animals, and elephants are popular with tourists. The tourism industry benefits from using elephants as a carriage for visitors. Tourists can enjoy rides on the backs of elephants as they go sightseeing in the jungle. Communities that can manage the elephant population around them safely and humanely can benefit from tourism income.

Before we begin this article, which is being written because, according to search trend statistics, it is one that people look for answers to, it is worth clarifying that elephant do not necessarily attack humans in the sense that there is a concerted effort on the part of elephant to cause this conflict or in the sense that there is a statistically noticeable instance rate of elephant on human attacks.
Largely by virtue of their size, elephant enjoy the privilege of being more comfortable in their surroundings than do other creatures who may more often feel themselves threatened. This more often than not translates to the quiet confidence we often call the ‘gentleness’ of these giants. They are not so easily driven to violence or the threat of it as buffalo are, for example.
However, also probably in part owing to their great size and the confidence it gives off, elephant are wont to wander wherever, unchecking their routes as they encounter obstacles other animals might warily steer clear of.
So, elephant do come into contact with human beings quite often. This brings the capacity for conflict, of course. With Africa’s peoples increasingly turning to arable farming instead of a more pastoralist mode of existence – which was far more prevalent in the past – this capacity for conflict only grows.
So, elephant do attack humans but that phraseology, chosen because it best reflects the question asked of the Internet’s search engines, is better considered as ‘In what situations will a human/elephant interaction turn violent?’
Below are a description of certain situations in which human elephant interactions can turn violent.
A recent study using satellite data has highlighted the critical role that large herbivores play in promoting tree diversity in forest ecosystems. The research showed that areas with abundant large herbivores like elephants had more varied tree cover and more tree diversity. This finding underscores the importance of large herbivores in many ecosystems and that they should have primary importance in conservation strategies, particularly in the context of global efforts to combat climate change and extinction.
