Karnataka Elephant Corridor

The government told parliament last year that 1,100 people had been killed in the previous three years. The elephants too are paying a heavy price with around 700 fatalities in the last eight years across the country.

Volunteers are helping Karnataka officials to count elephants at Bannerghatta National Park, close to Bengaluru. The state hopes to keep its claim as the state with the highest number of wild elephants in India.
