Odisha Has Become an Elephant Graveyard: WSO
The Statesman Bhubaneswar
|March 20, 2025
The state has acquired the dubious record of being the elephant graveyard of the country, alleged the Wildlife Society of Odisha, secretary Biswajit Mohanty.
He pointed out that the state recorded an yearly high of 94 elephant deaths in 2024-25 (till March 2025). The current financial year has also recorded the highest number of 31 elephants killed by electrocution, all of which were avoidable deaths. Compared to Karnataka, Assam, Tamil Nadu and Kerala, the elephant death rate in Odisha is much higher, revealing a breakdown of protection.
Electrocution, train hits, and poaching deaths are among the top causes for unnatural deaths, he added.
