Eleven elephants were killed this year—seven were electrocuted while four, including a three-year-old calf, were shot dead. Most of the killings occurred in Jamalpur and Sherpur districts until 2017, but this year, it all took place in the forests of Cox's Bazar and Chittagong Hill Tracts. We are to blame for the destruction of the elephant's natural habitat, creating food scarcity. We must save their habitats and free up their roaming grounds, and the murder of such magnificent creatures must not go unpunished.
