Periyar wildlife sanctuary is one of the
wildlife destinations in India that is man made and is a living paradise to the gigantic Asian elephants. At Periyar Elephants life, there migratory paths, and population seems satisfactory as well as is a rosy picture. However the point is are elephants really safe or it’s the other side of the story that time will reveal with no time to rectify.
The population of elephants is around 25,000-27,000 according to the latest census and is very good in terms of population as well as habitat distribution. But the actual fact is very different earlier Elephants were found in abundance across the country whereas today there habitat is limited to segments of forest reserves protected by government of India and wildlife associations.
One reason for the depletion of elephants forest habitats are the fast paced growth and development at cost of expansion the merciless destruction of forest covers. Today due to degradation of habitats, lack of adequate food supply, obstruction in the migratory paths, and human intervention is not only giving a negative impact over elephant population, but has also resulted in human-elephant conflict.
The farther accidents, killings of animals, poaching of elephants for commercial purpose is making a devastating effect over there free jungle living. The only way to protect elephants is to implement some measures to protect there habitats from further degradation, by connecting there habitats with proper corridors, providing them well preserved reserves to enjoy being at home with adequate food supply.
