Efforts to manage elephant movement between BNP and Cauvery reserves continue

The Karnataka forest department is intensifying efforts to mitigate man-animal conflict following the death of a 60-year-old man near Rajaraeshwari Medical College on September 28. Staffers are working to restrict elephant movement to Bannerghatta National Park (BNP) and Cauvery Wildlife Sanctuary (CWS). Officials noted that complete barricading of Devika Rani and Roerich Estate is not a viable solution, citing the need to protect the heritage migratory path.
