World Elephant Day Is Marked In Sri Lanka.

Elephant Caretakers feed the elephants on August 12, 2023, at Elephant Transit Home, Udawalawa, Sri Lanka. The Udawalawe Elephant Transfer Home is a facility within Udawalawe National Park in Sri Lanka. The Elephant Transit was established in 1995 by the Sri Lanka Department of Wildlife Conservation. Its primary objective is to rehabilitate orphaned elephant calves for ultimate release back into the wild. There are normally between 40 and 60 orphaned elephants, and visitors can watch them being fed from the safety of a viewing platform about 8 metres away at one of the four daily feeding sessions, held every three hours from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. (Photo by Thilina Kaluthotage/NurPhoto)

              Elephant Crisis In Sri Lanka

              Wild elephants are eating at garbage dumps in Polonnaruwa, Sri Lanka, on February 14, 2024. Sri Lanka is currently facing a severe elephant crisis, with a steady increase in elephant deaths over the past few years. In 2020, 318 elephants died due to various causes, a number that rose to 375 in 2021 and reached a worrying 433 in 2022. Even in 2023, the death toll remained high, with approximately 400 elephant deaths reported. These deaths are primarily due to human-elephant conflicts, shootings, motor accidents, and diseases. With an estimated population of 6,000 elephants, the loss of roughly one elephant per day highlights the escalating wildlife conflict in Sri Lanka. Immediate action is essential to tackle the root causes of this crisis and protect the future of these magnificent animals and the biodiversity they embody. (Photo by Thilina Kaluthotage/NurPhoto)
