A brilliant piece on the fallen elephant by @kamdararjun who had the fortune of spending some memorable moments with the tusker during the course of his work.

@Airawat @apdclsocial @himantabiswa @cmpatowary @assamforest @moefcc A huge loss, he was considered the 'Guardian of Sonitpur's elephants' by the locals and the forest dept.

Lovely coverage of our recent work!

Elephants are more than giants of the wild—they are guardians of their kin. As human-wildlife conflict escalates, perhaps there’s a lesson here: if elephants can protect each other, maybe humans can learn to do the same. https://t.co/mGypOUdykc @kamdararjun

@ParveenKaswan Thank you! Your team's work on the burying of deceased calves by elephants in Bengal further drives the point of cultural behaviours in elephant society!

[Arjun Kamdar @kamdararjun]

@prernabindra Absolutely Prerna, thank you! There is so much yet to uncover about the lives of these incredible beings!
