Dear Humans

Sri Lankan Elephants are endangered
STOP taking up their land NOW
Read the full story......and share this and help to protect them

Sri Lanka is home to a unique type of elephant and, due mainly to man, there are only a few thousand left, either in the wild or in captivity. Sri Lankan elephants are losing their wild home to farmers and industry, and adult elephants are reportedly dying at a rate of one every two days.
Often adult Sri Lankan elephants are killed when their natural habitat collides with human farmland. The farmers shoot them, or the elephants drown in irrigation tanks placed on the farms for the watering of crops.
When this happens and on a regular basis, baby elephants are then orphaned and abandoned. As a baby elephant needs its mother’s milk for two years to grow and survive, this has become a major problem.
According to World Wildlife Organization the elephant population in Sri Lanka has fallen by 65 percent since the turn of the 19th century due to the encroachment of human habitation into the wild. Wikipedia gives a figure of 50 percent decline in elephants in the wild in the last three generations

There is some good news for the Sri Lankan elephants, as various elephant orphanages and care centers are being set up in several areas of Sri Lanka. These include Uda Walawe Elephant Transit Home. The rehab center, located around 5km west of Uda Walawe National Park, cares for and rehabilitates injured elephants and then releases them back into the wild.
