Comments / pictures

This female elephant calf, a victim of human elephant conflict, visited a village along with her Herd to raid crops. Villagers pushed the Herd back and unfortunately Soni was left behind as she was very small and weak. She was later found roaming, lost, inside the Basti (tea garden area) in Borgang, Sonitpur.

Soni entered the Elephant Rehabilitation Program on January 31st 2011 with Sikom, Tinku, Tikla and Hamren. She was relocated to Manas National Park where she will going through a soft release and will eventually, once again, be a wild roaming elephant.

2011: In an update from Manas National Park, Tinku and Soni have been seen together over 7 times during the last month. Satellite signals received on the 10th and 11th November confirm Soni is moving around in the Batabari Forest in Ripu-Chirang Elephant Reserve. It is suspected that the pair may be following a wild elephant herd, although there is no confirmation as yet.
