Elephant populations in India and also in the whole of Asia are under severe stress. The captive ones are rendered jobless due to changes in the mode of transport and lifestyle of people. The ones in the wild are also no better off, as the forests are shrinking.
From Mark Shand
The elephant can survive only if forests survive.
People are so difficult. Give me an elephant any day.
If you cut down the forest, you know what happens: The whole of Asia turns into a desert. Without water, you're talking civil unrest, war, mud slides - the whole bloody lot.
The combination of a brand like Cartier and the immense heritage that India holds can go places.
Elephants love to play around. They are very intelligent animals. They have a strong bond, at times stretching to several decades, with their mahouts.
There is no need for use of torture instruments such as ankush for controlling the elephants. We can do it with the help of verbal commands.
When you look at elephant herds that are nonstressed, the males are never around. They mate, they go; they're loners.
You can cut a tree down, and it grows back. Once a species goes, it's gone forever.
I was probably spoilt, if I'm being totally honest.
