T.N. lays down rules for caring elephant calves
- The Tamil Nadu Forest Department has devised a standard operating procedure (SOP) to take care of orphaned wild elephant calves, in a first-of-its-kind initiative in the country.
- The document was developed based on scientific principles and the experience of staff, veterinarians, mahouts, and cavadis (assistants) of the Mudumalai Tiger Reserve (MTR) and the Anamalai Tiger Reserve (ATR).
