Authority investigators found three dead wild elephants in Manas National Park, which borders Assam between India and Bhutan. Forest officials disclosed that their patrolling guards discovered the carcasses in the Palengshi Beat area of Panbari range, located in the western section of the park, on Friday.
The forest authorities started a complete investigation following this discovery. Forest officials remain uncertain about the exact reason for death, although they have yet to dismiss the possibility of murder by hunters. A forest official announced that elephant destruction possibly resulted from poachers, although the investigation explores every possible means.
Post-mortem examination of the dead elephants will take place directly in the forest to determine their cause of death. After the examination procedure, the burial process will take place according to established forest burial procedures.
The UNESCO World Heritage-designated Manas National Park shows outstanding biodiversity support, which hosts large groups of endangered species, including many elephants. If poaching occurred, it has created serious worries about wildlife safety in this area and about current anti-poaching protections.
Forest officials, together with wildlife experts, dedicate their efforts to gathering forensic evidence while determining how the deaths of these animals occurred. Complete investigation success depends heavily on three primary sources: cameras from traps, safeguarding teams’ records, and community observations.
The conservation community has shown great concern about the situation while demanding better surveillance and enforcement efforts in the national park. Wildlife conservation faces tremendous threats in India because of these tragic deaths, which demonstrate the urgent requirement for better protection plans in vital habitats such as Manas National Park.
