From despair to hope and from struggle to triumph, this is the incredible story of a wild elephant mother's fight for survival backed by a dedicated and professional team of foresters and vets from Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu Forest Department .The mother elephant was found sick and lying on ground with her 3 months old baby roaming around her in confusion and distress.The team consulted experts and vets and successfully lifted her with the help of a crane. She was kept supported by the crane for three days while being treated by Vets. Her baby joined the herd and other siblings roaming in the nearby forests visiting the mother in the night. Thanks to the treatment,she gained enough strength and was released to freedom in the wild today. We are monitoring her to keep an eye on her well being. Gratitude and kudos to the entire team for their efforts. Way to go team 👏👍Video Credits Tamil Nadu Forest Department #TNForest

In a meticulously planned operation, the Tamil Nadu Forest Department relocated a wild tusker from O’Valley in the Gudalur region of the Nilgiris, a hotspot of recurring human elephant conflict. After weeks of monitoring and rehabilitation, the elephant was translocated somewhere in the Kalakad Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve, a pristine habitat ideal for elephants. Led by the Chief Wildlife Warden along with Conservators, DFOs, veterinarians, ground staff and trained kumkis, the operation showcased precision, coordination across divisions, patience and professionalism. It ensured both human safety and wildlife conservation. Kudos to the dedicated team. 💪 #TNForest #ElephantConservation #HumanWildlifeConflict #KMTR #WildlifeProtection #ConservationInAction #TamilNadu

An incident of Tamil Nadu-based bikers trespassing into the safari route at Bandipur National Park was reported yesterday. The biker, along with a pillion rider, was seen travelling on his motorcycle on the safari route located 3 kms from Bandipur old campus at about 4.50 pm. With tigers and other wild animals being sighted at the tiger reserve, the bikers have neglected the safety norms by straying into the forest. On witnessing the bikers entering the restricted forest area, a few of the Mysuru-based tourists warned them not to enter the forest. However, not yielding to the warning, they continued their jolly ride about 2 kms into the forest and returned on the same route. The video of which was captured by some tourists. Meanwhile, by the time the forest guards could arrive, the duo had fled the spot through the Kekkanahalla check post and Mudumalai Tiger Reserve in Tamil Nadu. The Forest officials, who have noted down the motorcycle registration number, have passed it on to the Mudumalai forest officials and Tamil Nadu Police. Bandipur Tiger Reserve Director L. Nandish has also instructed the officials to identify the miscreants and initiate necessary action.
