Demolish Wall Obstructing Elephant Corridor in India

A wall has been built in the No Development Zone in Kaziranga National Park, northeast India, which is obstructing an elephant migratory route and causing herds of elephants to become trapped. To date, the wall has caused the death of an estimated 12 elephants, many of which tried to break through it to follow their migratory routes and access the water holes beyond the wall. In one tragic case, a young male elephant died of a severe haemorrhage after repeatedly ramming its head against the wall.
We are calling on the NRL to demolish this wall immediately and allow elephants to once again connect to their surrounding habitat.
