Treated Elephant From Kanha Reserve Released to Wild
Imagine an elephant that was hurt and upset after seeing another elephant get hurt.
People took care of it for a year.
It got better, learned to trust people, and now it's ready to go back to the wild!
They will put a special collar on it so they can watch where it goes.
The elephant is being moved to a new place where there are other elephants, and hopefully, it will join them.
This helps the elephant live a normal life.
An elephant has been treated at Kanha Tiger Reserve for almost a year.
The elephant will be released into Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve.
A radio collar will be fitted to track the elephant's movements.
The elephant became aggressive after witnessing another elephant's death and a human-wildlife conflict.
Officials will observe if the elephant joins a herd after release.
