Sri Lanka - Wildlife - Elephants
This photo taken on March 24, 2011 shows elephants crossing a river during their daily outing from the Pinnawela Elephant Orphanage in Sri Lanka where the worlds largest captive group of elephants, who where orphaned, rescued, injured or abused, are cared for. It was announced in February, 2011 that Sri Lanka is planning its first ever census of elephants as the animals increasingly come into conflict with villagers, saying a head count would start in August, 2011 to aid better planning of conservation and minimise clashes between elephants and humans. Sri Lankas elephant population is believed to have dwindled to about 4, 000 from an estimated 12, 000 in 1900. AFP PHOTO / William WEST / AFP PHOTO / WILLIAM WEST

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a heartwarming scene of elephants crossing a river during their daily outing from the Pinnawela Elephant Orphanage in Sri Lanka. Taken on March 24,2011, by William West, it showcases the world's largest captive group of elephants who have been orphaned, rescued, injured or abused and are now being cared for at this sanctuary. The significance of this photograph goes beyond its aesthetic appeal. In February 2011, Sri Lanka announced plans for its first-ever census of elephants due to increasing conflicts between these majestic creatures and villagers. The headcount was set to begin in August that year with the aim of aiding better conservation planning and minimizing clashes between humans and elephants. Sri Lanka's elephant population has sadly dwindled over time; from an estimated 12,000 in 1900 to around 4,000 currently. This alarming decline highlights the urgency for effective conservation efforts to protect these incredible animals. William West's skillful capture not only portrays the natural beauty of these gentle giants but also serves as a reminder of our responsibility towards wildlife preservation. It reminds us that every effort counts when it comes to safeguarding endangered species like elephants and ensuring their harmonious coexistence with human communities.
