Nepal Greenlights Lambodhar Prasad Project


The government of Nepal has given official approval for EAI to proceed with its pilot project to design and build a chain-free corral designed specifically for bull elephants.
 
The four-acre steel pipe corral will be the new home of Lambodhar Prasad, one of nine bulls owned by the government who continue to languish on chains. EAI successfully converted the government's 15 hattisars [elephant stables] to chain free using solar-powered fencing but, since bulls' long tusks don't conduct electricity, they can easily break through. Heavy-duty steel pipe will contain them even during musth (time of heightened sexual hormones) and protect them from wild bulls who might otherwise attack them.
 
This exciting project has the potential to benefit not only Lambodhar Prasad and Nepal's eight other bulls, it could serve as a model for more enlightened and humane management for male elephants throughout Asia.
