TRAIN: THE ENEMY OF ELEPHANT- INDIA



Railway tracks cut across or borders almost all important elephant habitats and many Protected Areas in India. Assam, a prime abode of Asian Elephants (Eliphas maximus), a flagship species; has lost 71 elephants in 41 different accidents from 1987 to 2012, according to the WTI.  This has indeed become a matter of grave concern in conservation circles.
