NEW VIDEO: Elephant on the Road

As previously reported, elephant sightings in the Southern Cardamoms have been on the rise in the past several months.  In January, an adolescent male began appearing every day on an access road to a sugar cane plantation.  The situation between the elephant and the workers escalated and remained tense for two weeks, while Wildlife Alliance forest patrollers managed the situation and protected the elephant.  For a detailed report, check out January’s newsletter and for previous reports on elephant sightings, click here and here.  Watch the video below to see how and why this elephant visited the road every day and the fantastic job our forest patrollers did in moderating this tense situation.
