Govt okays electric fences around waste dumps to save elephants

by Chaminda Silva

Cabinet approval has been granted for erecting electric fences to prevent wild elephants from entering 54 waste disposing dumps located in wildlife zones.

The project has been proposed jointly by Minister of Sustainable Development and Wildlife Gamini Jayawickrama Perera and Minister of Provincial Councils and Local Government Faizer Mustapha to implement a waste recycling programme, giving priority to such wildlife zones.

Improper waste disposal has impacted badly on the environment as well as animals, especially elephants and therefore measures would be taken to implement a waste recycling programme in areas where wild elephants were roaming to protect them, the government said.

There are 54 waste disposing dumps located in wildlife zones and about 300 wild elephants are loitering around those dumps. The government said local authorities would be banned from dumping solid waste in the open.
