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.
