Save the Elephants of Bannerghata by Wildon

Background (Preamble):
The CZA ruling, dated November 7, 2009, found that the housing of elephants in zoos causes trauma to the animals." The ruling continues: "Elephants is a large mega-herbivore, which is fee ranging, cruising over long distances. There are very few zoos in the country, which have adequate space to permit free movement of elephants, as result of which they are kept chained for long hours, causing distress to the animal. Further, more often than not, such captive elephants in zoos hardly breed.
The ruling continues: "There is very little scope for ex-situ to in-situ linkage in the context of zoo elephants in India"

Why save the Elephants of Bannerghata:
Bannerghatta National Park is located at a distance of 22 km south of Bangalore. This 25,000 acre zoological park was established in 1971 and is one of the major tourist destinations of Bangalore.

2) We would like to have a Elephant camp set up in Bannerghata rather than shifting the Elephants from here to another forest range
3) We have seen a successful breeding of elephants in Bannerghata National park
4) Elephants are never kept chained as per the guidelines of CZA
