Tolstoy the elephant wanders southern Kenya.

He hasn't had the easiest life.

He has survived hunters.

And he has lived through water shortages.

Now, he has a new enemy: avocados.

In recent years, this healthy fruit has become more popular in rich countries.

Farming business KiliAvo Fresh wants to grow avocados in Kenya.

Last year, it purchased land from the local Maasai people.

The government allowed KiliAvo to plant avocados on the land.

But environmental charities are worried about the effect on elephants.

Daniel Ole Sambu works for the Big Life Foundation.

He says elephants need the land to have babies.

Avocados have been good for Kenya's economy.

But many people are angry about KiliAvo's plans for the huge new farm.

Samuel Kaanki is worried that even more land will become avocado farms.

At the moment, the government is reviewing KiliAvo's plans.

But the company is continuing to plant avocados.
