\u2018World Elephant Day\u2019, which was marked on Monday, August 12 is significant to Sri Lanka in many ways. From a tourism aspect, the \u2018Elephant Gathering\u2019 in Sri Lanka, now happening in Kaudulla and Minneriya after<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

a lapse of some years, is a major attraction for wildlife enthusiasts.<\/span><\/p>\n

The annual Gathering, occurring from July to October, sees smaller elephant herds from surrounding habitats congregate at Minneriya and Kaudulla National Parks. This congregation, fuelled by the diminishing water and food resources in other areas, provides a spectacular sight as the elephants socialise, bathe, drink, feed and potentially find mates. Recognised as the sixth-largest animal gathering globally by Lonely Planet and acclaimed by BBC and CNN, this natural phenomenon offers visitors a unique and memorable experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

Habarana is the main base for safaris into the nearby Habarana jungle, the Minneriya\u00a0and Kaudulla National Parks, Huruluwewa Park, and the newest Kalawewa National Reserve, all of which are heavily populated by elephants.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Gathering of Giants is not just an event; it is a testament to the beauty of nature and the\u00a0 importance of preserving it. By aligning the Cinnamon Habarana complex with this extraordinary phenomenon, Cinnamon Hotels and Resorts continues to promote sustainable tourism and enhance the global recognition of Sri Lanka\u2019s unique wildlife heritage,\u201d said Chitral Jayatilake \u2013 Vice President Cinnamon Nature Trails, the excursions arm of Cinnamon Hotels and Resorts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last weekend Cinnamon Hotels hosted a seminar with leading elephant experts \u2013 among them Dr. Prithiviraj Fernando \u2013\u00a0 Chairman, Trustee and Scientist for the Centre for Conservation and Research, Dr. Sumith Pilapitiya \u2013 Elephant Ethologist and Lead of the National Action Plan for Human-Elephant Conflict Mitigation and Dr. Rohan Pethiyagoda \u2013 biodiversity scientist and recent winner of the Linnean Medal, with Guest Speaker Valmik Thapar from India. Thapar has dedicated over 48 years to wildlife and tiger conservation, authoring 39 books and serving on multiple government committees in India.<\/span><\/p>\n

World Elephant Day\u00a0was co-founded on August 12, 2012, by Canadian Patricia Sims and the Elephant Reintroduction Foundation\u00a0of Thailand to focus attention to the urgent plight of Asian and African elephants. In Sri Lanka, the human-elephant conflict, overcrowded national parks, the livelihood of the stakeholders are some of the major issues that have to be addressed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

The Department of Wildlife Conservation (DWC) is conducting a countrywide census of wild elephants this weekend \u2013 August 17, 18, and 19. According to DWC Director General Chandana Sooriyabandara, the main objectives of the census are to establish new protected areas for elephants, improve existing protected areas, prepare and update strategic plans to mitigate the elephant-human conflict, and balance development activities with conservation needs. Elephant density in Sri Lanka is approximately ten times that of any other Asian country. 10% of the world\u2019s Asian elephant population live in this small island, hence, Sri Lanka offers opportunities of observing Sri Lankan (Asian) elephants in the wild that are unparalleled elsewhere. This charismatic species is losing its ground due to habitat loss and human-elephant conflict. Male elephants with tusks are somewhat rare in Sri Lanka and less than 7% of the island\u2019s male elephants are tuskers, DWC statistics reveal.In the last countrywide census of the elephant population in 2011, it was estimated that Sri Lanka had a minimum of 5,879 elephants. According to the 2011 data, 55.09% of the population were adult elephants, 25.03% were young elephants, 12.04% were calves, and 6.04% were infantsAbout 3,130 survey centres have been established across the country to facilitate the census conducted by staff from the DWC and other government agencies, members of the security forces,\u00a0 private sector personnel, students from higher education institutions, and voluntary participants.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
