| Description: | “Mahouts play a critical role in managing elephants; they form the first layer of communication with elephants. A study carried out to assess the welfare status of elephant and mahout identifies that among all the institutions keeping elephants, the welfare status of elephants in religious institutions was poor, showing a wide gap between the target of satisfactory welfare and existing status.” |
