NATIONAL AFFAIRS

Tamil Nadu Notifies Three New Elephant Corridors in Cauvery North Sanctuary

In August 2026, the Tamil Nadu government notified three new elephant corridors within the Cauvery North Wildlife Sanctuary of the Hosur Forest Division. The corridors are Jawalagiri–Ulibanda–Thaggatti, Jawalagiri–Panai–Anchetty, and Billikkal–Jawalagiri. They form part of the trans‑Cauvery movement route used by Asian elephants and other large mammals traveling between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. The notification aims to protect traditional migration routes, particularly during the seasonal monsoon movements when elephants traverse landscapes in search of forage and water. Officials say the corridors will reinforce landscape‑level connectivity, reduce human–elephant conflict, and support biodiversity along the Cauvery river basin. The move marks a significant conservation milestone for Tamil Nadu.
