WHY ARIKOMBAN ELEPHANT IS FORCED TO LEAVE CHINNAKKANAL FOREST
Arikomban the wild tusker was finally translocated to Thekkady region from its birth place, Chinnakkanal forest area. The elephant have attacked so many houses and shops in search of food grains. Due to it's violent attacks about seven people have been killed so far. While we want to maintain forests and wild animals on one hand, we do not ensure their food and drinks in adequate quantity and maintain their habitats trouble free. Since long man is encroaching the habitats of animals and drive away the poor beings more and more inside th forest and finally they do not find adequate natural area with necessary resources. This prompt them to get into human inhabited region in search of food.
Now we don't have large forest area. What ever we have should be maintained very well. No encroachment should be allowed. Offendenders must be strictly punished.
Unless we take care of the wild animals the way they want, there is no meaning in speaking loudly about our love for them. The government should make enough budgetary provision for wild life and must ensure that it should be used properly. Of late there are reports about tigers entering into into human inhabited area. These will continue until we take proper measures for the maintenance of those poor beings.
