Elephant rescue
Sri Lanka has set up a team to help save wild elephants that stray from the jungle into villages and rampage through farmlands destroying crops. The team, operated by the Wild Life Department, answers calls for help from farmers and either drives the elephants, which are protected animals, back into the jungle using flares and drums, or captures them, and later sets them free in game sanctuaries. There ate believed to be about 5000 wild elephants in Sri Lanka. — Colombo.
