Elephant corridor for Karnataka jumbos
Around 1,000 elephants and other wild species can now wander freely without any human interference through. They have their own corridor. This has been made possible by an NGO, Wildlife Trust of India supported by its partner - the International Fund for Animal Welfare which purchased about 25 acre-Kollegal (Edayarhalli-Doddasampige) elephant corridor from private ownership and transferred to the state government. The corridor which connects Kollegal forests to Biligiri Ranganswamy Temple Wildlife Sanctuary would be soon notified to be made a part of a protected area as Karnataka Forest Department officials and WTI signed the land ownership transfer agreement last week. Let's celebrate this. May more such corridors are developed in India.
