On #WorldElephantDay horrified to see this regressive unempathetic report from @MoEFCC  that fails to recognize the ecology & nature of #elephants, seeks to block their #RightOfPassage confine them to tiny slivers of #ProtectedAreas 1/n
It speaks of 'restricting #elephants in their natural habitat- Restricted by way of trenches , railway fences , cement structures and this is what such 'best management' practices do . 2/n
#elephants are migrants they will move...and try to break down barricades that hem in their #forests and block their passage.
Like this tusker from #Bandipur .3/n

Dont believe me?watch the distress of these elephants near #kaziranga whose path to KarbiAnglong is blocked by a huge concrete wall illegally constructed by Numaligarh Refinery for a golf course within the Deopahar forests Ltd. 4/n
Such methods to restrict #elephants, condition fear. Restricting them aggravatea #conflict leading to tragedy, loss of lives, livelihoods. . & yes, animals favour protein packed crops. the issue is complex. an excellent article by Tarsh Thekaekara 5/n

Elephants are far-ranging animals...& if we are to conserve them, minising conflict & suffering of #elephants & people we must protect their habitats, corridors, but this finds no mention in best mgt practices' in @moefcc report Instead v hav this: 6/n

need is to provide for secure passage -make it as safe for both people & #elephants. #Elephants r intelligent social empathetic & any mitigation strategy needs to take the #elephants perspective: its behavior,cognition ecology. pic from @NuxalbariTea nuxalbaritea.com/get-involved 7/n
#Elephants deserve our respect & dignity. And this is what i wish for them this #WorldElephantDay & everyday.
This..a wonderful memory from #Corbett
And our empathy ..may #elephants always roam wildlife and free
