Each year on August 12, World Elephant Day invites humanity to reckon with what it means to share a planet with one of its most ancient and intelligent minds. India answers that invitation with something rare: vast, living forests where Asian elephants still move as they always have, shaping ecosystems rather than merely inhabiting them. From the Himalayan foothills of Corbett to the rainforest silence of Silent Valley, these landscapes are not exhibits but arguments — evidence that coexistence between human civilization and wild nature remains possible, if tended with care.
