asia captive due forests india lifestyle mode rendered severe transport wild
Elephant populations in India and also in the whole of Asia are under severe stress. The captive ones are rendered jobless due to changes in the mode of transport and lifestyle of people. The ones in the wild are also no better off, as the forests are shrinking.
males
When you look at elephant herds that are nonstressed, the males are never around. They mate, they go; they're loners.
Save the elephants, and then you save the forest - and then you save yourself.
The elephant can survive only if forests survive.
people
People are so difficult. Give me an elephant any day.
