Elephant Issues in Nepal

Elephant Watch Nepal is concerned about the welfare and management of both wild and captive elephants in Nepal. Wild elephants in Nepal increasingly face habitat loss, especially in Kailali, Kanchanpur, and Banke.

Also, the number of owned elephants has steadily risen in the past three decades. These majestic animals deserve respect and good care but the domestic elephants become money-making objects. 

Captive elephants, used for elephant rides, are subjected to harsh training methods, confinement, and inadequate living conditions. Additionally, elephants are wild animals, and captivity and forced interactions with humans can cause psychological distress.
