Authorities in Chitwan, Nepal, have successfully tracked and collared a notorious male elephant known as ‘Dhurbe’ following a ten-day search. Dubbed a “killer elephant,” Dhurbe has been responsible for fatal attacks on humans, escalating concerns about human-wildlife conflict in the region. Wildlife officials employed darting techniques to safely attach a satellite tracking collar to the elephant. The collar will allow them to monitor Dhurbe’s movements and potentially intervene before further deadly encounters occur. This action aims to protect both people and the elephant, as lethal control measures are a last resort. Officials hope the tracking data will inform strategies to mitigate conflict and promote coexistence. The successful collaring represents a significant step in managing the escalating issue of dangerous wildlife in the area.
