इस याचिका को हिंदी में देखें - It has been two years since little elephant Bani was critically injured by a speeding train, and it seems nothing has changed with India Railways. Was Bani just another statistic? Just one of the hundreds of elephants killed on India’s railways in the past decade?
Bani got a fighting chance, but tragically eight more elephants were killed last week in Assam. Half of a wild herd was wiped out in an instant, including mothers with young calves. We’re heartbroken and outraged, and I’m sure you are too.
Manmade pressures on elephant habitat are forcing the animals to move outside of traditional migration corridors, and over deadly train tracks. There are proven early warning systems for train operators, but they’re not widely implemented. This needs to change, and we’re calling on India Railways to make a bold leap to protect India’s heritage animal the elephant, ironically also the company’s mascot.
The world rallied to save baby Bani, and we must show even greater resolve to create change on deadly rail tracks. Please sign and implore India Railways to take action NOW.
