A minimal effort answer for keep elephants far from the junk yard turns out to be a hit. 

Customary sun powered fencing couldn't keep wild elephants off the rubbish dump yard at Gudalur. After a few endeavors, the Forest Department and the Gudalur Municipality with the assistance of untamed life devotees have made sense of a savvy approach to keep the jumbos far from the yard. 

Almost 19 tons of rubbish produced by the neighborhood body each day is dumped at the yard close to the district and Naduvattam Panchayat fringe. Elephant crowds devour the rubbish that more often than not has a blend of products of the soil waste. Plastic waste in the junk dumped represents a risk to wild creatures. 

"On May 31, a customary sun oriented wall with metal strings was raised for a stretch of 300 meters around the yard. That was the latest day a crowd of 13 elephants, involving tuskers and calves, came there. They have stayed away after they endured gentle stuns," says Gudalur-based untamed life preservationist H. Madhusudanan. 

The following four days, two tuskers matured, around 30 years and 15 years, circumvented the wall and distinguished the week spots going back and forth and harmed them. Between June 4 and 13, the two harmed the wall in more than 25 places. Changes to the wall ended up being pointless. It was then that the metal appendage like structures jutting outside the wall were placed up in two or three spots where the wall was harmed. Be that as it may, the creatures figured out how to enter the yard through parts without arms. 

By June 16, appendages that were 1.5 to 2 feet long confronting diverse headings were given to the sunlight based wall around the yard. 

Mental boundary 

The tuskers, notwithstanding, amazed the activists by opening the entryway of the yard with its tusk (as it doesn't direct power). "We have raised limbs on the entryway likewise now and the elephants couldn't enter the yard the most recent 10 days," N. Mohanraj an advisor for World Wide Fund for Nature said. He included that sun oriented wall was just a mental obstruction that panics the creature and it has ended up being compelling. 

Area Forest Officer (DFO) for Gudalur S.N. Tejaswi said it is an ease fruitful model and the legislature was prepared to offer appropriation to agriculturists who received it.
