The collar alerts villagers if the elephant strays too close.

It is also key to a program Farina is designing to create "corridors" for elephants roaming a fragmented landscape of virgin forest patches, hemmed in by vast oil palm plantations and villages.

Farina has studied these elephants for years, earning her the nickname "Borneo's elephant whisperer" and the Whitley Award for conservationists.
