HAPPENING -- 10:

STUDENTS VOW TO PROTECT WILD ELEPHANTS

BY P S SUNDAR

                Hundreds of students made ‘World Elephant Day’ on Wednesday special at Reach Matriculation School, Coonoor, by taking oath to protect wild elephants as they have become endangered species. 

“We sensitised students on wild elephants’ behavioural pattern, especially their friendliness so far as people do not irritate them.  Elephants walk about 40 kilometres daily eating food all along, following an established corridor.   When the corridor is blocked with buildings and fences, elephants stray into human habitats and cultivated fields.  People should vow not to disturb elephant corridors”, Coonoor Forest Ranger C Siva told me after presiding over the awareness campaign.

The programme was conducted by Forest Department, Wildlife and Nature Conservation Trust (WNCT) and The Asian Elephant Foundation. 

“We gave audio-visual presentation highlighting wild elephant lifestyle in regard to their habitat, food search and man-animal relationship”, WNCT Founder N Sadiq Ali said.


Reach School Correspondent Periasamy and Principal M Prakasan led the deliberations.
