Surviving in the fragmented habitat that they have at their disposal in India today would necessitate crossing human-dominated landscapes. This publication, brings together for the first time, a comprehensive listing of India's elephant corridors as listed and mapped by elephant experts, and certified by all state forest departments that are part of elephant range in the country. Securing these corridors so that elephants and other species can locally migrate between habitats is crucial to their survival. Developmental plans in these regions must take the elephants also into consideration. This will ensure species survival, lessen conflict and ensure holistic conservation. View Report (18.7 MB)
