They have a right of passage. Le t’s give it back.
Asian Elephants have patrolled the forests of India for the
past 6,000 years. Due to their great size, elephants must
migrate constantly, over vast distances, to find food and
flourish. The ancient paths they have created are vital not
only to their own survival, but to that of countless other
wild animals including tigers, leopards and monkeys.
Once, Asian Elephants travelled over uninterrupted
territory that covered the whole of South Asia and
beyond, but now they have disappeared from over 95% of
their historic range.
As human populations expand and shift farms, roads
and villages are built across the Asian Elephants’
essential paths, hindering their movement and destroying
opportunity for these majestic creatures to feed and unite
with other herds.
World Land Trust is committe d to working in partnership
with Wildlife Trust of India to enable local communities
to save and prote ct corridors connecting elephant habitats

shrinking scraps of wilderness.October 5th-19th is our Big Match Fortnight. During

has more effect on the wild world than almost anything I can think of.”
