Elephant corridors are critical to elephant conservation in India.
District Collector Dineshan Cheruvatt orders the dismantling of unauthorised structures that obstruct wildlife movement. Farmers’ groups and the church leaders demand withdrawal of order. Chief Minister says genuine farmers will face no trouble, and only encroached fences will be cleared.
The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation has announced $13.3 million in grants for 14 projects across the western US. With $3.8 million in matching contributions, the conservation work will have a total impact of $17.1 million. The projects will restore habitat, improve migration corridors and modify 225 miles of fencing for wildlife.
