Tamil Nadu notifies three new elephant corridors
The three corridors in the Hosur Forest Division will enable the trans-Cauvery migration of elephants and other large mammals between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu
The Tamil Nadu government has officially recognized three new elephant corridors in the Cauvery North Wildlife Sanctuary, aimed at safeguarding the long-term survival of Asian elephants and reducing human-wildlife conflict. These corridors were identified by committees under interim orders from the Madras High Court, following the Palghat Gap boundary.
The corridors include the Jawalagiri-Ulbanda-Thaggatti corridor (18.50 km), the Jawalagiri-Panai-Anchetty corridor (20.90 km), and the Bilikkal-Jawalagiri corridor (2.20 km). PCCF and Chief Wildlife Warden emphasized their importance in facilitating elephant migration between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, particularly during monsoon season.
These corridors, which are fully within reserved forest and sanctuary, would not impose any inconvenience to the public as rights were already established. The decision to recognize these corridors positively impacts conservation efforts in the region.
