GUWAHATI: In a pioneering effort to enhance inter-state collaboration to mitigate human-elephant conflict (HEC) and promote peaceful coexistence, the forest departments of Assam and Meghalaya observed World Elephant Day for the first time at Thakurbilla in North Garo Hills, Meghalaya, on August 12.

Under the banner of “Safeguarding Elephant Habitats for a Sustainable Tomorrow”, distinguished individuals from both the states, along with over 300 participants, including 180 village women, participated in the event.

District Commissioner of Goalpara, Khanindra Choudhury, SP Goalpara Rakesh Reddy, Conservator of Forest (territorial, wildlife, and social forestry) Garo Hills Region, S N Sangma and others graced the occasion.

Addressing the audience as the chief guest, Choudhury lauded the collaborative celebration as a “landmark moment” that signifies the initiation of joint efforts to tackle HEC and facilitate harmonious coexistence between humans and elephants. He stressed the need to sensitise communities about the significance of preserving elephant corridors to minimise HEC and protect these majestic creatures.

Tejas Mari Swamy, DFO of Goalpara, proposed an inter-state Elephant Cup football match for World Elephant Day and called for support and wisdom of villagers from both states.

Jude Rangku T Sangma, ADC of North Garo Hills, highlighted that elephants are oblivious to human-imposed geographical boundaries, urging cross-border collaboration to mitigate conflict.

The event featured captivating performances by local students, Hajong and Rajbonshi community dance troupes, and the distribution of mitigation tools such as rechargeable torch lights. The Elephant Conservation Network (ECN) members from both regions were honoured for their dedicated efforts in easing HEC and supporting coexistence.

The day commenced with a friendly football match between community members and forest officials from the states, symbolising unity and camaraderie. This was followed by a match among local children, who were gifted footballs to inspire their connection with conservation.

The event was organised by the forest departments of Assam, Meghalaya and Aaranyak, a biodiversity conservation organisation, along with British Asian Trust with the support of the Darwin Initiative.
