Help Save the Wild Elephants of Dalma in Jharkhand

This is with regard to the 'Special Report' published in the Mumbai Mirror on Monday March 22, 2010 Page 10 of its printed edition by Jayatri Nag entitled "Is Red Rebellion bad for Green ?

I am of the opinion as a 'Global Wild Elephant Lover' and 'Wildlife Blogger' that Wild Elephant Herds of Dalma are in grave danger because of the anti-social and illegal activities of a number of 'Lawless Political Groups' who do not care at all about Wild Elephant Herds and their special needs with regard to food and water specially in summer.

More importantly, 'Prime Elephant Habitat' has been encroached upon by lawless political groups making it extremely difficult for the wild elephants to migrate from one forest to another in search of much needed water and food specially at this time of year.

Migrating Wild Elephant Herds, desperately need space and specially water during the scorching summer months when water is in short supply for all 'Wild Denizens'. Their habitat is lost and they are confused about where to go and what to do.

Lawless Political Groups have made life impossible for Wild Elephant Herds of Dalma by massively encroaching on 'Elephant Habitat' and making any return journey impossible for them under the current circumstances.

It is my fervent hope, that some 'Wild Elephant NGO's' will come to the aid of these beseiged pachyderms in more ways than one.

It is necessary that 'quick action' is the need of the hour as these Wild Elephants have already strayed into villages in Bengal looking for food and water and need help to get back to their 'Traditiobal Migratory Route' that they have used for years.
