Abstract

The article is a critique of the Right of Passage (ROP) document, which identifies elephant corridors in India for conservation purposes. The authors argue that the ROP lacks a working definition of "corridor" and does not use rigorous scientific methods to identify and validate corridors. They also point out that the ROP misses important existing corridors and fails to consider the hierarchical nature of corridor networks. The authors recommend using more objective modeling methods to map and prioritize elephant corridors in India. They emphasize the need for accurate and comprehensive information to guide conservation efforts. [Extracted from the article]
