Posted On: 09 DEC 2024 8:59PM by PIB Delhi

The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, in coordination with the State Forest Departments, have ground validated 150 elephant corridors across 15 elephant range States (i.e. Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Odisha, Tamil Nadu, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal) in the country and informed the State Governments/UT Administrations to take necessary steps to protect and conserve the elephant corridors. The list of identified corridors is given in Annexure. The management of wildlife habitats including elephant corridors is primarily the responsibility of State Governments/UT Administrations. As per information received from the State of Tamil Nadu, there are 38 Resorts existing within the notified Segur Elephant Corridor in Nilgiris District. Further, as reported by the State, illegal resorts falling in the notified elephant corridor and disturbing movement of elephants have been sealed and locked by the District Administration as per the orders of Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in the W.P. No. 897/1996 dated 09.08.2018.
