you are correct Rose - it was far too CRUEL and IGNORANT to split them up as they did. Sad elephants can die from grief. the people who made the decision to split them were complely wrong. Their ignorance displayed for the world to witness their INCOMPETENCE

These elephant 'rehoming' projects aren't that rosy as it appears to be. Many of these elephants struggle to fit into the rough and touch nature of the wild life. They are essentially raised by humans. There are certain important aspects of living the life of a wild elephant that can only be learned by growing up as a wild elephant. The social elements of being a wild elephant(the essential social skills of a wild elephant), what to eat, what not to eat, where to go and where not to go, who to trust and who not to(particularly when it comes to humans), etc etc are the skills these human reared elephants do not possess. Enormous amount of resources and energy are needed to research/study/learn first and then teach such skills to these 'home raised' elephants. Many of these elephants starve when they face the difficulties of the wild life. They may walk back to human habitats with the hope that the humans they don't know would embrace them, which is not the case when they walk into farming areas(which starts the human-elephant conflict related to farmland). The 'home reared' elephant get emotionally confused and lost in mind when they realize the farmers want them dead. The animal who grew up with humans to love them begin to hate humans. Far far more work and far far more funds are necessary to train these elephants to learn to live the wild life. If you do not understand where I am coming from, imagine in human terms what happens when you show a young boy once or twice how an intricate carpentry work is done & showing him few tools just once or twice, and then throwing that young boy into a carpentry workshop and demand him to work with other workers and produce all the intricate furniture with intricate patterns, carvings on them. Doesn't sound like a sensible approach, is it? There is a need for more research to learn how wild elephants organize themselves as social animals with necessary skills to survive. Ultimately, all these are bandaids that are devised to delay the inevitable, which is the extinction of the wild elephant. Without finding a solution to the real grave problem of expanding human population that encroach into elephant habitat and steal their resources, we are chasing a wild goose, simply to satisfy few human sentimental minds. Looking at the planet from the space, you can see and imagine a single parasitic species spreading into every nook and cranny of the planet, wiping out millions of species off the planet in the process of expanding before those animal's natural cycle of extinction, hence giving birth to the picture of mass extinction. All these are ridiculous, self serving band aids. We can hardly take care of ourselves to avoid the pending doomed extinction of ourselves. In such scenario, trying to save a single elephant sub species is a laughable attempt.

Your comments are well received, except for the last sentence. Releasing these orphaned elephants in mass (in groups of 8 or more) has been successful ever since Dr. Atapattu founded Udawalawe orphanage. Atapattu is a legendary wildlife expert, and this was his greatest success. I was film assistant on a feature length documentary about him 22 years ago and witnessed both his failures and successes. He was not an easy personality to be around...but was very wise to elephants.

I totally agree with you that the biggest issue is of the loss of habitat. This is the main issue faced by elephants in Sri Lanka, where poaching is considerably lower. But while the solution can be found to that, what do you expect our country to do? Wait around when they get hurt and let them die? Or save them, but keep them in captivity all their lives? These elephants are kept in the Transit Home with the herd of elephants with as little bonding with their human caretakers as possible to make the transition easier (The only exception is three-legged Namal, who can’t be released back, due to his disability). These methods have been arrived at with research, experimentation and trial & error, and have met with success. Maybe we’re postponing the inevitable, like you said, but we will fight to the bitter end.

@@shamaliwije4872 You have to protect the wild elephant population at great cost. Simple equation I can put forward to you is, Sinhala nation's survival = Wild elephant's survival. The wild elephant is inherently bonded with the culture if you study the history of Sinhalese people. If you let the modern development destroy the wild elephant population, you may as well say goodbye to Sinhala culture as well. Lobby and get as much help as you can get from Western developed countries. Having funds make a big difference when it comes to protecting wild life. Elephant and leopard are your most important cultural icons. It is the only small island in the whole world with a surviving wild population of mega fauna, namely the subspecies of Asian elephant you have there. It surprises me how these elephants survive to modern age as a wild elephant in your island, considering numerous sophisticated consistent civilization you've had in the island for last few thousands of years. I suspect there is something special about the ancient culture there to come up with technology that even helped the wild elephant population to grow and thrive(Your complex vast network of ancient man made reservoirs in the dry zone). You have the solution if you get to the roots of your culture and find out how the ancient Sinhala people thrive while preserving their natural environment. Unfortunately, people like myself that lives in the Western developed culture aren't much help to you to find the long term solution, apart from getting some funds to support the conservation process. You need to avoid Western ideology at any cost if you are to conserve what's left of your natural environment. We know how much of once massive "Siharaja" forest is left now(14km x 7km small patch). That is a shocking outcome. Ritigala forest is still there, but I suspect these natural resources will keep dwindling. Human population control is one of the key points, even though we are very paranoid about controlling cultural/regional populations. The small island most obviously is overpopulated. Luckily, for last twenty five years, there hasn't been a significant human population increase in Sri Lanka, but I suspect that is mostly due to emigration.

@@sheelasundaram784 Ravana is just a myth built over folklore. Tamils are ancient for sure, but not in Sri Lanka, but in South India. The unique and native culture(for last 2.5k years or so) in Sri Lanka is Sinhala or Hela culture. Tamil are natives of south India, particularly modern day Tamilnadu. It is very easy to observe the achievements of ancient Sri Lanka were by Hela people, who do not have everything in common with the South Indian kingdoms of ancient India as well as modern day India. It is understandable the Tamils from South India always wanting to make the island their own land, but impossible as the geography itself would create a unique culture. Even the whole island of Sri Lanka are planted with Tamils , within 200 years they would form a unique culture that would not want anything to do with India in terms of governing as a separate state, which includes south Indian Tamils. Indeed, the Sinhala culture over last 3k years or so was formed that way, by the mixing of local island tribes with northern and southern Indian migrants. Obviously the arrival of Buddhism worked really well because it augmented the uniqueness of the culture the island people have been wanting throughout the history, and unified them under a single nation state culture that had regional sub-cultures. That's why Sinhala people are determined to protect the Sinhala Buddhism(not just Buddhism) because their survival and uniqueness depend on it. Of course, if you go back to history any further than 3k years, then neither Hela people or Tamils have much to do with the island, but the native tribes like Vedda people and other extinct or assimilated regional tribes. Educate yourself with facts, rather than myths. This Tamil history myth among Tamil nationalists in Sri Lanka have been fostering the brutal war between Tamils and Sinhalese that ended up as a total carnage in 2009. You have a proud Tamil history in Tamilnadu, and that's where you should focus the Tamil nationalism in. The claim of Sri Lanka being a Tamil land is an old, well known desperate attempt by South Indian Tamils(only some of them I would say) to establish a separate Tamil state in the island. This has been tried throughout the history of 2k+ years and have failed for obvious anthropological reasons as above mentioned. The sooner the Tamils(both in Tamilnadu & in Sri Lanka) realize that the better. However, I seriously doubt the Sri Lankan Tamils in northern and eastern Sr Lanka actually cares for a separate state. They simply want to live their lives without being harassed by anybody, which includes Sinhala, Indian and western European people. Tamil people in Tamilnadu on the other hand may have a small percentage that want a separate state in India as well as to annex Sri Lanka. However, this is not an attainable goal in modern day Indian sub-continent.
