Except in Africa, where elephants are often an unmanageable menace to human communities.

Also in Africa and same with elephants. At least 20,000 were killed for ivory in 2015 and are in serious decline, as lions, rhinos and other big fauna from Africa
I think a large trench around your village would be enough to stop any elephants.
Elephants eliminate African villages by eating their crops, not by destroying their houses.
