The Banhbari elephant range within the picturesque Manas National Park turned into a festive look as the park celebrated World Elephant Day on August 11. The event, which drew attention to the significance of conserving the majestic pachyderms, featured a unique tradition where attendees participated in the ceremonial feeding of fruits to the elephants, symbolizing gratitude and reverence for these gentle giants.
India’s Manas National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, has long been an important elephant refuge. On this occasion, park officials shared promising news: the elephant population within the park has shown a marked increase compared to previous years.
This increase is evidence of the park’s continued conservation efforts and dedication to giving these animals a secure and healthy habitat. The event served to both emphasize the significance of World Elephant Day and the effective programs that are assisting in the preservation of one of India’s most famous animals.
