When elephants sleep, they reveal a side of their lives that we rarely get to see ! Here, a herd of wild elephants is sleeping peacefully on an island of tall grass in Assam. Elephants can rest and doze while standing, remaining ready to move at the first sign of danger. But lying down is different. It allows the body to relax fully and is associated with deeper, restorative sleep, including REM sleep, the stage linked with dreaming. A landmark study of two free-ranging African elephant matriarchs found that they slept for only about two hours a day. They sometimes remained awake for nearly two days and lay down to sleep only once every three or four nights. Sleep patterns vary between individuals, ages, species and environments, and much remains to be understood about sleep among wild Asian elephants. But researchers know that elephants are more likely to lie down when they feel comfortable and secure. That is what makes this sight so beautiful. A herd lying asleep together shows they have allowed their vigilance to trust the landscape around them.

And the epic journey begins again in all its glory. Three new travellers, Apapang (adult male) orange track, Alang (young female) Yellow track, and Ahu (adult female) Red Track, were satellite-tagged on 11th November 2025 as part of the Manipur Amur Falcon Tracking Project (Phase 2) by Wildlife Institute of India . In just days, Apapang has stunned trackers with an extraordinary non-stop flight, already cutting across central India and now skimming the Arabian Sea, poised for a 3,000 km oceanic crossing to Somalia,one of the most demanding journeys undertaken by any raptor on the planet. From the forests of Manipur to the vast African landscapes that await them, these tiny birds barely 150 grams continue to remind us of the sheer wonder of migration, and why India’s protection of stopover sites has become a global conservation story. What a wonder ! Credits Suresh Kumar #AmurFalcons #BirdMigration

There is some absolutely wonderful news about the comeback of mangroves around the world. For those who missed the recent news, mangrove forests, once considered among the world’s most threatened coastal ecosystems, are showing signs of recovery. A study based on four decades of satellite data, published in the journal Science Science Magazine, finds that global mangrove area has shifted from net loss to net gain since around 2010. After decades of losses driven by deforestation and coastal development, mangroves are expanding in many regions, largely through natural regeneration and colonisation of newly formed coastal areas. Mangrove forests lost nearly 2,900 square kilometres between the 1980s and 2010. Between 2010 and 2023, they regained a net 2,033 square kilometres, leaving an estimated net decline of just 0.5% over the entire study period, a much smaller loss than previously estimated. Restoration efforts and natural processes are helping this recovery. Mangroves are reclaiming abandoned aquaculture ponds and spreading across coastal mudflats, especially in river deltas where sediment creates favourable growing conditions. These forests protect coastlines, support fisheries and store carbon. Losses continue in some regions, but this recovery offers real hope. The study’s message is clear, stop deforestation,protect & plant more mangroves #Mangroves #Climatewarriors #climateaction

Listen to that deep, guttural call. The male Great Hornbill is announcing his presence, and the ancient rhythm of the forest is stirring once again. Over the next few weeks, the skies above Tamil Nadu’s Anamalai Hills will belong to these magnificent birds. September and October bring their spectacular pre-breeding congregations. Drawn to fruiting fig trees and traditional roosts, Great Hornbills gather, call, court and sail across the valleys, their powerful wingbeats sounding like a helicopter. Hornbills are often associated with Nagaland and the forests of Northeast India. Yet far away in the southern Western Ghats, the Anamalais form one of India’s most important hornbill landscapes. All four hornbill species of southern India occur here: the Great Hornbill, Malabar Pied Hornbill, Malabar Grey Hornbill and Indian Grey Hornbill. Published research describes the Anamalais as a stronghold with some of the highest Great Hornbill numbers recorded in the Western Ghats. This is only the beginning of an extraordinary natural drama. As courtship progresses, pairs will revisit ancient nesting trees. Around January, the female will enter a natural cavity high in a great forest tree and seal herself inside, leaving only a narrow slit. For nearly four months, the male will carry fruit to her and later to their chick. Research in the Anamalais has recorded nesting cycles lasting between 114 and 130 days. Some nest trees have been used for decades. As hornbills feast on forest fruit, they also rebuild the rainforest, carrying large seeds across valleys and dispersing them far from the parent trees.

The year ends on a heartwarming note for us at TN Forest Department, as our Foresters united a lost baby elephant with her mother and the herd after rescue in the Anamalai Tiger Reserve at Pollachi. The little calf was found searching for the mother when field teams spotted her. With the help of drones & experienced forest watchers the herd was located and the tiny calf was safely reunited. Teams are still on ground for monitoring. Kudos to Ramasubramanian, CF, Bhargava Teja FD, Range officer Manikantan and the entire team 👍 videos FD TN DIPR Tamil Nadu Forest Department MoEF&CC #elephantcalf

When I first visited the Irula Snake Catchers’ Cooperative Society on the outskirts of Chennai, I was awestruck. I learnt that even though they supply about 80% of India's Antivenom, they never catch snakes during their breeding season.Irulas treat snakes with care, affection, and profound respect . Each snake is released back into the wild carefully after venom extraction. On this World Snake Day, let us honour one of the most misunderstood guardians of our ecosystem, snakes. And let us also celebrate the communities which protect them. We need to replace fear of snakes with facts,myths with science and advance better understanding of snake conservation through trained snake handlers and Snakebite prevention and management #WorldSnakeDay #Irulas #SnakeConservation #OneHealth #Biodiversity #TNForest

The AI based surveillance mechanism set up by TN Forest Dept has started recording elephant movements on Railway tracks in pilot project mode in Madhukkarai at Coimbatore. The surveillance system has 12 towers fitted with both thermal and normal cameras, installed at strategic locations along the railway track for early detection of animal movement. The sensed data is automatically transferred to the control room set up on the site that processes the data collected from the field on real time basis and alerts loco pilots through calls and SMS. This area has seen several tragic elephant deaths due to collision with trains on these tracks. We are trying our best to prevent these collissions through use of modern technology which can be a big boon in preventing elephant deaths in such areas.

A beautiful elephant family sleeps deep inside the Anamalai Tiger Reserve in Tamil Nadu, an extraordinary moment captured on camera. The young one gently rests its leg on an elder, seeking comfort, security and love. In the world of elephants, family is everything. And around them stands the forest silent, protective, eternal like a cradle holding life itself. On this International Day of Forests, this tender scene reminds us of a simple truth: if forests do not exist, nothing will remain. Nothing at all. Without forests, the world would be poorer, harsher, emptier.

Look ! Indian Elephants have finally arrived in New York. Titled as the 'Great Elephant Migration' a travelling herd of 100 stunning life size elephant sculptures have reached NYC. These elephant sculptures have been made by local tribal artisans from Gudalur in Nilgiris, Tamil Nadu, from the invasive lantana species. The 'Great Elephant Migration' is travelling around the world spreading the message of coexistence & creating awareness about the need to remove invasives like lantana camara from forests to save wildlife. Each elephant has been created by the Coexistence Collective, a community of 200 indigenous artisans from Bettakurumba, Paniya, Kattunayakan and Soliga communities of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve, Tamil Nadu.

What if I told you there is a tiny plant, hidden in the Nilgiri montane grasslands of the Western Ghats, that offers a masterclass in water conservation ? Hedyotis verticillaris is a remarkable plant whose rosette-shaped leaves trap and store water at their centre, creating miniature reservoirs in a landscape shaped by strong winds, mist and seasonal dryness. When summer dries the grasslands, wildlife including gaur, sambar and even the Nilgiri tahr are believed to sip from these tiny water stores. Every species therefore has a purpose. Every ecosystem has its own genius and we must learn to appreciate these wonders. #WorldEnvironmentDay #ClimateAction #NowForClimate Video: Supriya Sahu IAS #TNForest

The Government of Tamil Nadu has declared snakebite a “Notifiable Disease” under the Tamil Nadu Public Health Act of 1939. Effective from November 6, 2024, all hospitals including private must report snakebite cases to improve data collection and resource allocation. This move aims to enhance treatment, infrastructure, and availability of Anti Snake Venom, reducing snakebite-related mortality, especially in rural areas following a One Health Approach. This aligns with National & WHO’s global strategy to halve snakebite deaths by 2030. Snakebite envenoming poses a serious global health risk, affecting 5.8 billion people, with 81,000-138,000 fatalities annually. Recognized by WHO as a neglected tropical disease, this will need efforts to focus on community education, prevention, conservation, and improved treatment Video Irular snake catchers Cooperative

Bird orchestra at its finest! 🎶 And hidden in this chatter is a beautiful life lesson. 🙌 At the foothills of the Anamalai Tiger Reserve, thousands of Chestnut-headed Bee-eaters paint the sky before coming together to roost. They gather for safety, stay connected through constant musical calls, and hunt more effectively as a group. Found along forest edges and open spaces, these vibrant birds also play an important ecological role by controlling insect populations. A perfect reminder that there is strength in togetherness. Incredible capture by Sriram Murali #TNForest

A journey of a lifetime begins today! Fifteen mahouts and cavadies from the Mudumalai and Anamalai Tiger Reserves in Tamil Nadu have boarded their first-ever international flight to the Thai Elephant Conservation Center (TECC) in Lampang, Thailand. The objective of this visit is to learn and exchange best practices in elephant management and welfare. This marks the second batch to undertake this transformative journey, following the first group of 13 who visited TECC in 2023. This unique initiative is part of the Tamil Nadu Forest Department’s broader vision to professionalise elephant care by blending the traditional tribal wisdom of our mahouts with modern global standards. The visiting team comprises mahouts, cavadies, veterinary experts, forest rangers, and department officials. We wish our team a meaningful and empowering experience. #MahoutsOfTamilNadu #WildlifeConservation #Theppakadu #Kozhikamuthi #TNForest

Long message, but trust me, it will be worth your time. Here is a remarkable update from Tamil Nadu’s tagged turtles. Early tracking data shows that some have already travelled to the Sri Lanka Dome, a little known ocean region where marine life gathers in extraordinary numbers. What makes this even more astonishing is that turtles migrating from Odisha are also expected to arrive in the same waters. Species from distant coastlines are converging at one natural marine hotspot shaped entirely by the rhythm of the ocean. The Sri Lanka Dome is created by powerful seasonal ocean processes that bring cool, nutrient-rich waters to the surface. This fuels plankton blooms and attracts turtles, fish, whales, seabirds, and countless other marine species. It is one of the most productive upwelling zones in the world’s oceans, beginning in May, reaching its peak in July, and declining in September. At that time, the turtles move out of the region and begin their return migration once again. These journeys reveal that turtles do not belong to one shoreline or one state. Their lives depend on a CONNECTED ocean, where feeding grounds, migration corridors, and breeding beaches all matter equally. Places like the Sri Lanka Dome remain unknown to most people, yet they are among the most important ecosystems in the Indian Ocean, like hidden engines that sustain marine biodiversity. The message from these turtles is clear. Conservation cannot stop at the beach. It must extend across borders and across seas because wildlife knows no boundaries 🙌🫶 With inputs from Dr Suresh Suresh Kumar

A masterclass in climbing down a tree, leopard style ! The mother guides her cub, adjusts its footing, and the little one follows. A 40-year study published in the Journal of Animal Ecology found that leopard mothers cared for their cubs for 9 to 35 months, staying with them longer when prey was scarce. Even after the cubs stopped suckling, their mothers provided most of their food until they became independent. And what stays with the young after they leave ? A 2024 Nature Communications study of wild brown bears found that offspring’s feeding habits resembled their mothers’ even after they leave, partly through learning during their time together. Different species, different skills, but a familiar truth, so much of life begins beside a mother. Video Credits- wildlifedigitalmarket24

As a beautiful family of elephants crosses the railway track at Madukkarai in Coimbatore, an AI-powered early warning system by the Tamil Nadu Forest Department ensures their safe passage, a sight that fills the heart with warmth. What better tribute to elephants on the #WorldElephantDay than guaranteeing their right to a safe life. Since November 2023, this system has ensured zero elephant deaths on the tracks. We have installed 12 towers and 24 thermal cameras on constant watch, 6,592 elephants have crossed safely. Saluting forest rangers, track watchers, guards, loco pilots and officers who are making this possible.

Everybody knows him. Everybody adores him. He is Ramlal, the famous free ranging tusker of Jhargram, West Bengal. I have followed news about him for some time, fascinated by how much of his story remains unknown. Where did he come from? How did he learn to navigate a landscape so closely shared with people ? Information gathered with colleagues suggests that Ramlal came from Jharkhand decades ago. Now around 50, he spends much of the year moving confidently through forests, roads and villages, so familiar to local communities that he has become part of the landscape itself. And just look at him ! That majestic walk ! that colossal frame. Yet what makes his story truly remarkable is the coexistence around him, the watchful care of the West Bengal Forest Department and the extraordinary affection showered on him by local people. Long live Ramlal and the magnificent elephants who make our world so beautiful. Video - Special arrangement #Ramlaltheelephant #Elephants #AsianElephant #Wildlife #Coexistence

Zero deaths. That is the mission. A dedicated team of forest officers, patrolling staff, loco pilots, drone operators and control centre monitors works round the clock at Tamil Nadu’s AI-powered Elephant Control and Command Centre in Madukkarai in Coimbatore to keep elephants safe. In just over two and a half years, the system has facilitated around 9,481 safe elephant crossings ensuring Zero elephant deaths on Railway Tracks, demonstrating how technology, human vigilance and teamwork can come together to protect wildlife. The system has generated more than 7,116 real-time alerts for railway authorities and loco pilots, leading to 3,821 instances where trains were slowed down or stopped to allow elephants to cross safely. Beyond elephants, the system has also detected deer, gaurs and leopards, creating a comprehensive AI-enabled wildlife monitoring network. The Government of Tamil Nadu continues to strengthen the system. AI-powered drones have been deployed for wider landscape surveillance, extending monitoring beyond fixed thermal cameras and providing real-time situational awareness of elephant movements. No system can ever be perfect, and the worry never really goes away. But we must keep learning, improving and doing better. A big shoutout to these unsung heroes whose constant vigilance, dedication and hard work make this possible. #AIMadukkarai #AIForWildlife #Elephants #WildlifeConservation

Hello Chennai here comes your third Mangrove Magic ! Along the Buckingham Canal, the Chennai Forest Division has planted 20,000 mangrove seedlings across 20 hectares during 2025–26. What you see here is the fishbone structure to support healthy tidal flow. 8 main fishbone canals have been created with 8 feeder canals and 186 distribution channels. This is supported by Team ICICI Bank under their CSR initiative This effort builds on the earlier phases wherein 12,500 mangrove seedlings were planted near Kazhipattur along the Buckingham Canal in 2024–25, with 2,500 associate coastal species, followed by 5,000 mangroves planted at the Battle of Adyar Island estuary. Step by step, TN Forest Department is building Chennai's living coastal bioshield restoring mangroves that protect the city, nurture biodiversity and strengthen climate resilience. Kudos to Chennai DFO Thiru Saravanan and his entire team 💪🙌 #Mangroves #Chennai #Climateaction #ClimateAction

An 800-kg wild gaur walked more than 300 km across Tamil Nadu, from the forests of Trichy to the shores of Pamban. What followed was one of the most complex wildlife operations undertaken in the state. After a month of tracking the animal through human-dominated landscapes, and when all efforts to guide it back to suitable habitat failed, the Tamil Nadu Forest Department carried out the state’s first long-distance gaur translocation. Nearly 100 personnel, including expert veterinarians and trackers, worked in challenging coastal terrain to safely tranquilize, transport and release the animal in a Reserve Forest in Dindigul after a 13-hour capture operation and a 9-hour journey. Translocating a gaur is among the most challenging wildlife management tasks. This successful operation marks a significant milestone in conflict mitigation and wildlife management, while providing valuable lessons for future human-wildlife conflict situations. Kudos to the entire team 👏👏💪

The year ends on a heartwarming note for us at TN Forest Department, as our Foresters united a lost baby elephant with her mother and the herd after rescue in the Anamalai Tiger Reserve at Pollachi. The little calf was found searching for the mother when field teams spotted her. With the help of drones & experienced forest watchers the herd was located and the tiny calf was safely reunited. Teams are still on ground for monitoring. Kudos to Ramasubramanian, CF, Bhargava Teja FD, Range officer Manikantan and the entire team 👍 videos FD TN DIPR Tamil Nadu Forest Department MoEF&CC #elephantcalf

Incredible sight ! A big shout-out to Loco Pilot Das and Assistant Loco Pilot Umesh Kumar of the 15959 Kamrup Express for their swift and heroic action on 16th October in saving a herd of about 60 elephants crossing the railway tracks between Habaipur and Lamsakhang by applying emergency brakes. Pilots were alerted through a Artificial Intelligence based Detection System which comprehensively covers the track. This incident spotlights the importance of technology to prevent such near-misses. Tamil Nadu’s AI-based surveillance system implemented by us in Madukkarai, Coimbatore has also successfully prevented elephant-train collisions through 24/7 monitoring with thermal cameras and real-time alerts. Implementing similar solutions across vulnerable tracks can significantly reduce fatalities and enhance coexistence between wildlife and human infrastructure.

Some animals make you fall in love with an entire landscape. For me, the Nilgiri Tahr is one of them. Tamil Nadu’s iconic State animal, the Varaiaadu, is found only in the southern Western Ghats, its sole wild home on Earth. It is classified as Endangered on the IUCN Red List. According to the Government of Tamil Nadu’s 2026 State-level Synchronised Population Estimation, Tamil Nadu supports an estimated 1,364 Nilgiri tahrs, compared with 1,303 in 2025 and 1,031 in 2024. Through Project Nilgiri Tahr, species recovery is being done through scientific monitoring, grassland restoration and protection of fragmented habitats. My hope is that generations after us will find Varaiaadu across more of its mountain home, sure-footed, wild and free #NilgiriTahr #SpeciesRecovery #speciesrecovery #wildlifeconservation video Supriya Sahu IAS

“ ஓடுங்க ஓடுங்க தங்கப்பிள்ளை...” ( Run, run, golden child ) These are the affectionate words of a fisherman as he calls out in Tamil while gently releasing a juvenile dugong, accidentally caught in his fishing net, back into the sea in Pudukkottai, Tamil Nadu. What makes this beautiful moment truly unforgettable is the story behind it. Years of sustained awareness, engagement and trust-building with local fisherfolk, supported by incentive mechanisms introduced with the help of District Collectors, is encouraging communities to actively participate in conservation. From 2023 till date 21 Dugongs have been rescued. The restoration of approximately 3 acres of seagrass the lifeline of dugongs is further strengthening their habitat. This goes to show that the future of conservation will ultimately depend on how meaningfully local communities are involved in protecting wildlife and the ecosystems they share. Kudos to CF, DFO Pudukkottai and the Team #TNForest TN DIPR

Bravo ! Quick action and coordination between the Assam Forest Department and Railways helped save precious elephant lives from a potential collision with a Rajdhani Express on the railway tracks in Nagaon today. Forest staff alerted the Railways, and the loco-pilot, working with the Railway Control Room, halted the Rajdhani Express, allowing the large herd to cross safely.

The recent AI Impact Summit hosted by India recently brings focus on practical applications of AI. At Madukkarai in Tamil Nadu, a simple AI-based Elephant Detection System has enabled 8,679 safe elephant crossings in a little more than 2 years. Incidently it has also recorded 100 leopard alerts, 560 wild gaur alerts, and captured 14,888 deer alerts across two vulnerable railway stretches, protecting precious wildlife. In Gudalur in the Nilgiris, another AI system is working at the landscape level to generate real-time alerts for the local community, and in Hosur too, an AI system is helping elephants. These systems may not be perfect, no system ever is, but the foremost goal is protection. The future of AI lies not just in innovation, but in using technology where it matters most: solving real problems, in real places, and for real lives #AIforgood #wildlifeconservation #MadukkaraiAIProject #elephants WWF-India WWF IUCN
