“Therefore, a new range extension by elephants into Oddanchatram frorest range could be viewed as a unique case to derive management implications for elephant conservation in the region,” he noted. The other option could be to find new routes to go back into its traditional range to avoid various anthropogenic pressures, he pointed out. Studies proved that the elephant herd moved up to Batlagundu forest range where two forest field staff were injured by one of these tuskers while they were involved in driving back these jumbos into their traditional range, during 2019. In a nutshell, it is clearly envisaged that the elephant herd is not turning back to its traditional range, instead, it keeps extending its range into new areas which are part of their ancient home range. It is astonishing that the elephants did not turn back to Oddanchatram jungle limits, their traditional range, for about 200 years.
