GOVT OKAYS PRIVATE TUSKERS- NEPAL

Government has approved a controversial plan to allow the entry of privately-owned tuskers into Chitwan National Park (CNP) despite of grave concern by conservation activists about the impact of uncontrolled and frequent movement of elephants in the protected area. Already 100 elephants stroll in the park area but after approval 20 more private elephants can enter the park every day.
