This was revealed by Boago Poloko of Elephant Havens Wildlife Foundation which has volunteered
to search and translocate the young female to safety from human residential areas.
Poloko explained ‘we want to translocate her to avoid any potential
danger she may pose to people. We managed to track her to the old rice farm in
Boro. ‘
Poloko added that they failed to dart the
elephant for transportation as she ran away from the team trying to save her.’
We will locate her again tomorrow. We hope we will be successful this time. Our plan is
to transport her back to the buffalo fence to stop any potential danger she may
pose to the public.’
He stated that the young elephant is older for them to consider putting her in their orphanage. ‘she is older to survive on her own. We hope that once she is in the delta she would be able to locate her herd. She is a female, therefore, bulls will be friendly to her so she would find other companions,'
He added that the young elephant is, however, looking thin probably having lost weight from the stress of being alone and not eating well.
