  • Elephant corridors — essentially linear patches of natural vegetation that connect two habitats — are important for jumbo movement and necessary for the herd to maintain a healthy population. However, sprouting of roads, railway lines, electricity towers, canals, and human settlements in these corridors are forcing elephants to stray from their natural paths, causing conflict situations with disastrous results for both man and animal. According to the report, ‘Right of Passage: Elephant Corridors of India’, by the Delhi-based Wildlife Trust of India last year, an average of around 100 elephants are killed every year either due to train collisions, electrocution or road accidents. The report also adds that an estimated 400-450 people die due to confrontation with elephants each year.
