I am happy that finally there is some realisation about the need for a migratory corridor for elephants. I am especially happy that the solar and electric fencing has been banned. Solar fencings - rather than being the solution as is proclaimed by a few experts and implemented by some reputed NGOs - actually pushes the "problem" rather than solving the core issue. Villages have come up in the elephant migratory corridor and the NGOs are peddling solar fencing as the solution. In case of electric fencing, there are cases of elephant deaths.

A major part of the elephant migratory corridors fall outside the protected areas. It would be good if all those areas can be mapped and a safe haven for elephants created.
