As the whole world celebrated the mega herbivore on 12 August 2022, i.e. World Elephant Day, the Indian Forest Service (IFS) officers marked the occasion by showering love, respect, and a whole lot of pampering on our elephants. India is home to 60 percent of the world popualtion of the Asian elephant. While celebrating the day with this long ranging animal, the forest officers also made it a point to create awareness on the urgent need for its conservation and protection.

While some officers took beautiful pictures with the ‘lord of the jungle’, some others educated people about the issues this majestic animal face in India and how we can provide a safe environment to them.

We, at Indian Masterminds, collected a series of pictures and tweets posted by the officers, where they are seen celebrating the day along with the elephants to spread awareness.

IFS officer Srikant Verma shared a picture with an elephant, who, the forest department had rescued from a well in Gumla, Jharkhand. They had used the Archimedes principle to take out the elephant from the well it fell into.
