A forest is recreated near
Trichy on the Chennai - Trichy National Highway. The 35 acres of the forest landscape
(near MR Pallayam) is supposed to transform into Elephant Rescue centre, the
project, first of its kind was initiated by the former government to provide medical
care to sick elephants belonging to temples and the individuals. But it was not
fully implemented by the following regime.
The objective of creating the centre in
the state is to provide complete medical treatment to sick elephants. The funds
allotted in the first instalment from the government have been utilized… and
the project is waiting for further funds from govt. One traveling between
Perambalur and Trichy could come to see the plantation of trees and a damaged
structure of an elephant’s statue marking the project.
Today is International
Day of Forests, a day that was designated to
raise awareness of the importance of all types of forests, and trees
outside forests, for the benefit of current and future generations. Countries
are encouraged to undertake efforts to organize local, national, and
international activities involving forests and trees, such as tree planting
campaigns, on International Day of Forests.

I hope they can use it eventually for the elephants. They are such amazing animals.
Forests are important part of our life

I would love to see an elephant rescue happen someday!
Thanks for telling me that there is also an International Forest Day. Kudos to Tamil Nadu Government for Realizing the importance of afforestation for creating ecological balance for the preservation of flora and fauna.
Very nice initiative. This is need of the hour.
Forests are important! Without them, we die. And I really hope the elephant rescue project is a success!

That's wonderful! Where I used to live, they had an elephant habitat. I didn't even know about it until I had lived there for several years and saw a news article about it. I was totally surprised, and super happy, to know that our state had done something to help the majestic creatures.
very good to see this...
