Sir, it was in Palakkad not Mallapuram.
And why the Indian culture remarks? #Kerala #keralaelephant

Let's not forget Mr Javadekar had defended the culling of animals like nilgai, wild boar. Supported by farmers-
Javadekar, who held the post of Minister for Environment defended animal culling, insisting it is done on the request of states to protect crops

End of the day we have a huge problem between farmers and animals that destroy their crop. Needs a solution so farmers don't resort to firecrackers & tragic #elephant deaths like in Kerala. Mr Javadekar had supported culling of nilgai etc because of this

I wish the Enviornment Ministry and public at large also feel outraged by the number of environment clearances given for projects that will destroy #elephant habitat and corridors used by elephants. This will cause more conflict hindustantimes.com/india-news/env…

Coal mining inside the Dehing Patkai Elephant Reserve in Assam, hydropower project in one of India’s most biodiverse zones in Arunachal Pradesh’s Dibang Valley will all harm animals #elephants hindustantimes.com/india-news/env…

During lockdown, MoEFCC panels cleared or discussed 30 projects in biodiverse forests.
So many wild animals will be affected 😪😭 #ElephantDeath #environment #India

Please also take note of the encroachment of this beautiful #elephant habitat-

During lockdown there were decisions on 31 proposals that could affect 15 tiger reserves, wildlife sanctuaries, notified eco-sensitive zones in the fringes of protected areas and designated wildlife corridors #elephants #tigers @PrakashJavdekar frontline.thehindu.com/environment/co…

In the past Mr Javadekar had allowed the culling of animals like nilgai, monkeys and wild boar, as a way of managing the conflict with farmers. Many are still divided over this #elephants #conflict qz.com/india/705190/i…

And this poor elephant also. Key is to come up with solutions to this conflict so the poor animals and farmers don’t suffer. Not give statements about ‘not Indian culture’ #elephant via @AdityaPanda

Farmer animal conflict is a massive problem in India. The poor #elephant who died in Kerala was probably victim of a trap laid for wild boar. @PrakashJavdekar knows all about the issue since he once called the culling of nilgais in Bihar ‘required’
