Oh god some one please save our lovely creatures... These animals currently threatened by deforestation, land degradation, and unregulated exploitation of natural resources,, where they belong...

Please people in Sri Lanka let's get move to save our nature for the future. I'm totally disappointed with the authorities movement on this matter. Need better solution for both wild elephants and for the villagers.
