Does tracking harm the elephants?Updated 6 months ago

“No - the collar does not harm the elephant; the collar is very light for the elephant and sits loosely around the neck like a pendant would on us. Collaring is carefully performed by an experienced team. Firstly, an elephant is located by a ground team or from the air, then a vet will prepare and shoot a dart containing anaesthetic. A collar is fitted as quickly and safely as possible before the vet helps revive the elephant in minutes.” - Save the Elephants
