What action has been ordered for all resorts in the Sigur plateau elephant corridor

All resorts in a specified area have received a directive to undertake a particular action.
All resorts in the Sigur plateau elephant corridor have received a directive to undertake the following actions:
  • Installation of electric fences: Resorts have been ordered to install electric fences around their premises to prevent elephants from entering the resort area. This will ensure the safety of both the elephants and the visitors.
  • Prohibition of feeding elephants: Resorts are strictly prohibited from encouraging the practice of feeding elephants. Feeding can disrupt their natural feeding patterns and lead to dependency on humans, which can result in conflicts.
  • Strict waste management: Resorts must implement effective waste management practices to prevent attracting elephants towards human settlements. Proper disposal of waste will minimize human-elephant conflicts and maintain the ecological balance.
  • Education and awareness programs: Resorts have been directed to conduct educational programs to create awareness among guests about the importance of elephant conservation and responsible ecotourism practices. This will help in promoting a more sustainable approach towards wildlife tourism.
  • Collaboration with local communities: Resorts are encouraged to collaborate with local communities and wildlife protection authorities to develop initiatives for the conservation of elephant habitats and promote community-based ecotourism.
These actions aim to ensure the coexistence of resorts and elephants in the Sigur plateau elephant corridor while minimizing any negative impacts on the animals' natural behavior and habitats.
